This Thread has been such an interesting read...love your horse and the picture you shared. I have one neice who does dressage and 2 other neices that do barrel racing. We only had a run of the mill horse when I was growing up, but when we kids all left home, my dad bought himself a fancier horse and taught it all kids of tricks. After I married my husband and I had two horses, a buckskin barrel racer and a palemino that was beautiful and just a saddle horse to ride. Those were the days..Now it's quilting, reading and collecting vintage Singers.
