12 years ago this horse fell into my life. 12 years ago I was the most excited little girl anyone could imagine as I took her home. 12 years ago I would have never thought that I would still have my first horse that I paid for with my very own money not a horse that I was borrowing or Leasing. 12 years ago and we still have the same bond if not a stronger bond than ever before.

This horse is my heart. She and I have traveled the country together side by side always there together. She is got me through so many tough situations and always been right there when I need a hug, or a friend. Through every heartache hard time and every low moment in my life she has stood beside me. I can't believe it's been 12 years already.

I didn't think I had had her that long already, because I don't remember bringing her home until December 2nd 2014. However I guess I keep forgetting that I kept her for almost six months at the stable I used to work at. She was my Wrangler horse. I took trail rides out on her, and back then she was so wild and really it took lots of gear to keep her head down and keep her from running away with me. Through the years she has slowed down, and gotten a little bit better of a head on herself. But she's still crazy and she still mine. So, with that being said, happy 12 year anniversary to the love of my life. ( My husband knows he comes second to her and has come to terms with that. ;) )

After all, she did carry me down the aisle on my wedding day.

Thank you @frustratedearthmother

I may never ride her again. I get mixed answers from the vet on how sound she really is. She tore a ligament back in October and hasn't been ridden since, although my Farrier thinks she has regained strength in that leg I have three other sound horses to ride. .. I just won't risk it.

After two months of watching him grow up from afar, we finally set out on the cross state ( country, HAH ) journey to pick up our new herd sire. He comes from excellent milking lines and we are hoping he brings some fine fresh genetics to our herd for years to come.

I need to get better pictures, but, after a 22 hour drive we were more interested in throwing him in the pen and settling in for a nap.

He's out of Badmoonrizin lines and Prairie Wood on his Dam's side.
