The Horses in my Life

[jazzysgirl]

Well there's a lot of horses in my life, but only two are teh dearest to me.

THere's naturally my horse, Jasmine. she's 13 years old, bay Arabian, with a star and a tiny dot of a snip. She reminds me lot of Barbaro, with her facial markings. No leg markings.

She's my baby. She was a rescue from near NYC, she was abused and doesn't like kids too much. She was rescued by a lady that didn't really have room or time, so she was given to a friend of mine who had her diagnosed with UVeitis and it was deemed she'd be unbreedable(she wanted to breed her for a foal she could raise and show). So my friend asked me if I knew of anyone that wanted a horse, she was rideable, but she'd need time and patience to get weight on her, she was still about 300 pounds underweight when i said i'd take her, so she came home with me and we've been together slightly over one year. Now i'm starting to teach her to trail western(she is ex-dressage horse-nicely trained too i just ride western). She isn't underweight anymore, if anything she's a bit chubby now.
Here's a few pics:

Then the pony in my life is Buttercup. SHe's supposed to be a Creamello Galiceno pony about 22 years old, but i think she's an incredibly young(4ish) Quarter Pony (or even a welsh/QH cross), with the way she filled out when the barn owner bought her and a welsh pony mare. I'm going to ask about buying her, she's blue eyed and going blind herself and is the only horse left on the farm that Jazzy likes.

So there, you can see the horses in my life! There's actually a total of 7 others where Jazzy stays, Butter is just my favorite and i spoil her alot.

I enjoyed hearing about your 2 horses. Jasmine is beautiful, and Buttercup is adorable!

I know a bay Arabian mare named Jasmine.

I think they're both beautiful--it's sad about Jasmine's early life, but now she's in a good home. Hopefully to be joined soon!

Jazzygirl, those are some really nice horses!

I haven't been fortunate enough to ride or even be around horses since July. It's a sad fact of my life right now.

Do you guys remember that pony I used to talk about? Well, I know a girl who still rides at my old place and she said the owner sold him because he wouldn't work for anyone. I wanted to buy him so bad, but logic and common sense won out. At least he's doing well with his new owners.

That's good, at least. We had some stubborn lessons horses at the first stable I took lessons at, but the owner was almost as moody as them, so I guess it didn't bother her that it bothered some of the students. She only sold them when she sold the whole farm. *sigh* Lack of financial management.

Btw, your new name is kinda long, and I'll feel strange calling you guardgirl, or something. Will Kerry do, or is that too personal? I can spell it all out, I'm just lazy.

Oh, and p.s. OT: do you actually toss rifles? When I was briefly on a c-g team in high school there were only a few of the members skilled at it, the rest of us (admittedly, newbies) stuck to flags.

Moody owners suck. I can go on further, but I don't feel like ranting at the moment.

You can call me Kerry, I don't mind at all.


You were on a guard? Awesome!!
Yes, we do toss rifles, as well as sabers. It's wicked fun!

Kerry,

I'm sorry the pony you loved was sold. However, I'm glad he is doing well in his new home.

I don't own a horse, but there was a horse I used to ride named Sissy. She got sold though she kinda spoiled me because I don't really care for ridding as much anymore I miss her
