Just wanted to update everyone about my new horse
I won at Alpine in their raffle. Many wrote and asked I do this.
We have named him "Sterling" (thanks Brenda for
the great name) and it just seems to fit him. He is steel grey (not for long
though) and it has a nice sound to it. He is absolutely the sweetest thing you
would ever meet. The family who boards him is in love with him as he always
comes running up to greet them. He must of been handled quite alot at the Boys
Ranch cause he is like a big puppy dog. A couple of quad riders came crashing by
the other day and he didn't even flinch! Not bad for a 4 yr old Arab! I have
ridden him 3 times and he is pretty well started. He knows leg pressure and has
brakes already. He actually knows how to back up too! I took him on a mini trail
ride around the property and he is not spooky--he has alot of confidence. I keep
telling everyone that he is my Arab that acts like a mellow quarter horse. I'm
not sure how well he will do in endurance yet but I know my 11 yr old twin
girls are not going to have any problems riding this guy!
Thanks to all that sent in the GREAT names and
congrats!
