Heather's Newborn Filly
It's hard to look at this little one and not see a sunny future. In just a few days, she should be outside starting her new life in the field with her mother, Hazy.
What beautiful horses. Im so jealous. I used to ride a little bit, volunteer at DEFHR (horse rescue) and almost bought a horse named Rojo. I miss it. I got a chance to canter and gallop for a bit this summer at the camp I worked at and it was amazing.
For more than 25 years, I have been fulfilling my childhood dream of immersing myself in the world of horses. Much of my time revolves around riding and caring for three of these fine animals. I am on a journey of self-improvement
that I hope will last a lifetime. I enjoy schooling horses daily, trailering to a trainer weekly and challenging myself to compete against some very fine riders at shows that stretch through spring, summer and fall. I am always striving to be better and I love the challenge and the hard-won rewards this sport has to offer.

ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear that someone else is as horse crazy as me. They are so much work but I really enjoy every minute with them.
