My horse is hopefully pregnant and is amazing I love her so much. She is a half Andalusian half friesian she looks like a friesian but is smooth like an Andalusian. She is the best. She is 16.1hh and is black.

I have two pasture ponies.. I don't ride much these days but I love their company!

My old man just turned 19 on May 31st.. he's a Bay OTTB.. His name is Zeffirelli (I never changed it from when he was on the track).. I met him as a 2 year old on lay up for a broken shoulder.. his trainer always said he was mean to the point I was barred from going into his stall (which never stopped me lol). When he went back to the track, I would go into his stall while the horses were running and lay down with him in the stall.. his groom seen it and told my mom that he was going to kill me one day.. He ran 3 times; the first time he came in dead last but his last two races which were longer, he broke from the gait in the lead but mentally he wouldn't change leads on the last turn in fear his shoulder would hurt and he dropped to second to last.. I overheard his owner and trainer talking about sending him and another filly to a guy who was a known meat dealer.. being 13, I broke down in tears and called my dad and begged him to let me buy Zeff! He gave his blessings and I talked to my mom who agreed. She spoke to his owner and trainer and they agreed that I would work at the lay up barn as payments! He was supposed to cost me $1500 but I ended up getting him for $300 when the lay up barn was sold! 17 years later and many ups and downs along the way, he's still my main man! I've told my husband to never give me the ultimatum of him or the horse, because he'll lose :))

The other is a 10 year old paint mare named Dakota.
I've had her since she was 4 months old.. there's not much with her... She's actually been the easy horse /:)
