Yay for horses forum - Here's my old baby!

[on:]

This is me and my American Saddlebred, Tashi. Unfortunately that was a while ago and I miss her dearly. She was green, and a broodmare that the stable rescued from a slaughterhouse. She was fiesty and high-strung (I have her to thank for stepping on my feet & heels more often than not, as well as my bent ribs)! But she was beautiful and spirited and she was (still is) part of me.

I miss you my Tashi!

Tashi was a beautiful horse. How long did you have her?

Tashi, looks like she was a great horse.  It also sounds like she caused a little bit of pain, but I'm sure she was a lot of fun.  I would love to have a horse sometime down the road.

Beautiful

I'm leasing a horse right now, she's an appendix mare. Feisty thing, she inherited her mom's warm racehorse blood. She steps on my feet all the time too, nearly broke my toe once

I want a horse. It's horrible. I can't afford my own keep at the moment, let alone a horse's, but I've got the time, but if I COULD afford it, I probably wouldn't have the time. Rargh.

Try leasing, Rachel - Not sure what prices are like in your area, but we have horses all over the place here, leasing for just $150/month.

I had Tashi for about a year and a half.

I can't afford to lease right now. Someday soon, maybe.

Maybe when you get that AWESOME new job I know you'll find. Hehehe.

Horses are the cause for almost every injury I've ever sustained... Lol!  But boy its sooo worth it.  I currently have a Dun Quarter Horse named Doc... He is a beauty.  He's my ranch rodeo baby!  I learned to ride on him, we are only 2 months apart.  (Were both now 23yo)
He taught be everything I know.  ;-)  No horse ever comes close to your first horse.  Also pictured is my crabby ole mama "Wolfie"... ;-)

I love Doc's look - is he gelded? That stocky "Old World" QH look is hard to come by these days - but definitely the BEST type of Quarter Horse!!
