and this is Cheval, a QH/Arab pony mare I was working with. She had a foal at 3,and basically sat in a field for the last 4 years.. so I asked her owner if I could play around with her. Took me a whole year but I got her w/t/c nicely under saddle and started over fences. Yes, she is a pony and I was a little big on her,but, she was a blast. Very sensitive. unfortunatly the owner sold her to my old BO's and they use her in lessons now.. due to conflict of interests I left the barn and stopped riding her in the spring of last year, shortly after I sold Percy.

And this is Moose. and OTTB "TAP FAB" out of "Signal Tap" . A woman I rode with for the last two years rescued him. He is a typical OTTB and needed a lot of work, I rode him for about 6-7 months and he came so far. He had some balance issues but Sue and I both worked very hard with him, he was a fantastic ride. he was sold this past summer to a great home. I miss the big guy.

Shortly after I left the barn percy was at, after I sold him May of 09. I moved to another barn and started to build up my confidence overfences, since.. that was pretty much nil at that point. I started riding Tess a clyde/arab/tb? Anyway, Shes a horse from my past, she was at the first barn I was ever at, and my friend owns her foal, who is now 5-6 years old. She is a schoolie master, and really helped me get my confidence back over fences. From barely jumping cross rails for 4 years. after 3 months I was back up to 2'3 and doing courses. here are a few pics of me riding her,and some of my first show in almost four years, on her.

And here is Strider, a Perch/Paint cross. 4yrs old. He is owned by my moms friend. He is.very green. It was like riding percy all over again. She did NH with him. And rode western. He was a fantastic ride. Mostly just walk/trot... and working on steering with him, as his owner is also new to horses( doing a great job with him on the ground) just needed some help in the saddle! He is a doll!
