It was 2 years ago today that I bought my horse Quest. I drove 4 hours north to WI with my trainer to look a a couple of horses. He was on a small farm with a camel and other animals. I didn't even find the ad it was my trainer. She was wanting to look at a horse and thought that the draft cross they had might work. I had no idea what this horse was or looked like when I started the trek at 8:30 am on that Saturday morning. What I found was a big black and white dirty horse that I promptly wrote a check for.
I know, I was crazy, but the trainer liked him and he was in the price range. Now, I wasn't looking for a show prospect, just an all around English horse. What I got was my dream horse. He is very sane with wonderful gates. Sensible and has carried me through 3 parades as well as tolerated me learning sidesaddle. I think he almost prefers the sidesaddle over anything else. He loves apples, pears, carrots, watermelon, oatmeal raisin cookies, and sometimes bananas. Heis very willing and patient not to mention handsome!
It is very hard to believe that he is mine and that I have had him 2 whole years!
Congrats on making it 2 years...I hope you have 20 more!
