I love Tuesdays. Know why?
Cuz I get to play with the most beautiful awesome horses in the whole wide world. :-P
Ironstone got a new draft horse recently (recently meaning december), and I saw him for the first time last week and got to ride him for the first time this week. He's taller than Ben. That only means something to Sarah, haha, but trust us, it's HUGE. He's definitely built less bulky than Ben, but he's still draft. (for my non-horsie people...think Budweiser Clydesdale in height, but longer and slightly narrower.) His name is Milo, and he's Percheron. He's dark bay (basically, black) Beautiful, but like Ben he's a pain in the ass on the ground. He's actually better behaved then Ben in the saddle though I think -less strong-willed, more willing to please. Anyway, I may be walking rather stiff and be complaining alot in the next few days, haha. I think Bobbie is trying to cripple me. :-P But as the wiseass horse saying goes....Nothing like a 2000lbs animal between your legs. ;-) She scoffed at me when I didn't get tired last week after having not ridden in like 6 months...so...I think this was payback.
Mark my words, some day, I will have my own horse. Some day. Dream Come True.
