yes i think she was afraid of her horses. he was great as long as you werent behind him. i would have kept him but after being kicked many times, and he finaly broke a bone.... hubby said he had to go.
my aunt has a 1/2 arab and 1/2 appy that is solid sorrel with a few white dots on his hips the size of a dime. and he is built like a quarter horse. so dont rule out the appy.
i had a creamello with blue eyes. but he had been badly abused as a baby, and as a result any time you went behind him he would start kicking. hubby finaly made me get rid of him, after he broke my wrist. the people who i gave him to had him broke to ride and love him. but he still kicks.

all the reg. horses we had in the past came allready named on their papers, and when we had babies we let the new owners name them. he is 3 and the original owners didnt send his papers in, so we get to name him. we allready called and we and are good to go to send his papers in, (since he is 3...
finally got the new horse delivered. he is a grullo quarter horse. and his name is rowdy.
we are getting ready to send his papers in and we need to give him a reg. name. how does everyone come up with those realy cool names on their horses papers? the ones i have thought of so far sound dumb.
