As far back as I can remember, I've loved horses and wished upon many stars that someday I could have one.  My parents wouldn't let me as it wouldn't fit in our back yard,  my first husband obviously said 'NO WAY'.   Finally at age 45, I said to my NEW husband that I had wanted a horse all my life and never could have one.  He said "Why not?"  I'm like, "Hummmm, does this mean you would let me?"  He says, "Of course!"

I truly think he meant it was ok with him if I got one but I soon found out horses are like potato chips, you can't have just one!!

The good news is I'm now down to 2 from 7.  Training baby horses is for someone younger, stronger, and braver than I am...............<grin>  I'll just stick with riding and spoiling my sweet boy "Dollar"

This past July 4th was a dark rainy day here on the Pohtorosa Ranch.  While we were out 4 wheeling in the mud and water, I took this picture I call "my alien horses."  The flash made their eyes glow green!!  <grin>  I found good homes for all but two.  I'm keeping Dollar but have decided it is best I get Cocoa Puff a home with someone that probably bounces better than I do these days.

" This is MY Cadillac...a ride like no other and seems to only want me aboard!!"

  "Dollar"

 He is my baby.........:-) oh what a ride.....

Dollar was my very first horse purchased 11-00 .  I got a late start following my lifelong dream of owning a horse.  You might say I had beginners luck with Dollar though as he is so gentle and kind but the cincher is he has this SUPER SMOOTH racking gait!   He is far superior to most other Walkers we have competed against. When we go to a play day, we ALWAYS win the water glass and egg on a spoon events.    Dollar is a 15.2 hand registered TWHBEA and RHBAA gelding.  He is some cool fella and someday the grand kids will learn how to ride on him.  I can not ever see me with out Dollar.

 "Cocoa Puff"

Is fixing to go in for two months training then will be offered FOR SALE

She is a beautiful 2 year old Amber Champagne Tennessee Walker.  I just decided I'm too old to mess with breaking/training a youngster.  I don't bounce like I used to.  She will be $2000.00

And here I am today with my little HORSE CRAZY granddaughter "Saryn".  God willing, someday soon, Saryn and Gma will enjoy trail rides on our horses.  Saryn now has my first little filly that she named Tink...short for Tinker Bell.  Tink is doing well with her training and loves Saryn.

I have a new 'HORSE KRAZY' friend, Sandra.  After a few years of not having a buddy to ride with it sure is nice to have found one that not only loves horses but also raises Bengal Cats!! 

If you love horses, you will enjoy this animation of SINGING HORSES.  Just follow the link and wait for the entire screen to load up with all 4 horses.  Click each horse starting with the one on the left.  Clicking on any horse will make it turn off or back on again.  Enjoy!!!
