My mother nodded, we adopted him. He was skinny, scared and trusted no humans. People tried to get him in our trailer, whipping him and pulling him, I watched with tears running down my cheeks. After 2 hours of trying and watching, I stepped on the side of the trailer and called ...

Almost the entire time I felt uneasy with the way Remix was acting. He had his ears pinned, and he was being extremely stubborn. I rode close to the little girl that was on him, which was not the best rider I had ever seen. She was practically sawing the bit into the corners of h ...

This past spring my mare Silver and I entered a show jumping competition. We were approaching a large double oxer in the jump-offs when disaster struck. Somehow Silver got her back legs tangled in the fencing and the moment of that wonderful feeling of weightlessness that accompa ...

Teri told me about Queen's past, and how she used to be a gaming horse. She said that a girl had trained her for gaming when Teri wasn't home and jerked on her mouth for hours. All she would do was ask her to run and run and run. She ignored her head set and had no concern for Qu ...

However, it didn't all work as smoothly as I hoped. I would have to leave my old stables, of which I had been at for seven years and leased horses from for four of those years. It was an extremely hard decision to make, to leave behind good friends and happy memories. But at my o ...

Total shock had overcome me as Aunt Esther walked toward me with this beautiful paint in hand and when she got to me, lifted my hand to place the reins in it. My jaw had dropped, but I was still mute to much surprise of my parents as they thought I’d be running around yelling in ...

When he was 3 months old he was forced onto a trailer. This trailer took him to an auction for emaciated horses. He was the only foal there. If he wasn't bought, he would be transported to a slaughter house. Fortunently, the current owners of Rain were there, not planning to buy ...

It seems like lately nothing is going right. I have been constantly reminded about how nothing lasts forever. Even though we try to pretend it will last forever, it never does. I find that the only thing that will last forever is love. Some people don't understand why every death ...

I didn't think I could find any other horse that I could love just as much as I loved her. But six months later I found one. Flickas daughter Whoopi. Whoopi was known to everyone as the "brat", and I was going to change that, or at least I thought I was. I thought of her as the p ...

Bear didn't recover so his owners put him in a slaughter auction. Luckily we were there, we saw him and for me it was love at first site. I told my mom we had to get him. She thought about it for awhile, the price was going higher and higher on him. Finally she was the top bidder ...

Yes, he was kind of stubborn. He turned way to close to the barrels and loved to knock them over. He didn't really like to listen to his rider's cues and he had a really bumpy trot. I always felt frustrated after riding him and I got tired of riding him after several months. He w ...

He was exactly the right horse for her. He had led many to great victories, but none were like the love him and the little girl shared. They asked me how much I wanted for him and I told them just as long as I could come and visit him every once in a while, that was all I needed. ...

I have been riding for 14 years and never had a horse scare me as bad. He continuously backed up and would refuse to walk forward. If I gave him a kick to go forward he reared up and bucked like a bronco. This happened over a course of 4 days, so I called his old owner and asked ...

We took off, heading for the park again as we crossed the road. A car slid to a stop, the tires screeching, and he tried to take off running. I quickly pulled him into a tight circle, which immediatley calmed him down. He let out a sigh, and we finished crossing the street, catch ...

You see, up until the end of 2008, my beloved Finola was, quite frankly, the most amazing competition horse anybody could ask for. She was brave, she was fast, she could jump and best of all: She loved every minute of it. She wasn't big, shiny and well bred. She wasn't an expensi ...

My HorseyPawpaw watched me ride until the last few months of his life. When he did not feel so great he would still sit out in his plastic chair and watch me ride while I put Ole'Blue through his paces. Sadly, he died about two years ago because of lung problems that he picked up ...

I led the two in at the same time, one on my left and the other on my right. Moose was walking particularly slow. But I just figured he was tired from the night out. we got near the barn door when Dollar spooked and side stepped out of my loose grasp. He just wandered two feet an ...

I awoke to sound that chilled me to the bones. Coyotes. The deathly howl that sounded made me jump up out of bed and run down the hall to my dad's room. Before I got there a deafening scream filled the air. The horses! We had left them out that night because the next day it was s ...

"What's wrong with him?" I asked, curious why such a gorgeous horse had such a bad attitude. "Well...." Lisa began. "He used to be a great show horse, he won loads of prizes and was treated like a million dollar horse. A year ago or so, his owner's daughter was out here. She deci ...
