Congratulations on all the hard work you put into your 2. Such an achievement

Its so wonderful when you find a horse that clicks with you ! the past 6 years i dealt with a gelding who was suppose to be my show horse. Super nice lines and had the moves for an all rounder. The hickup was i sent him to a new trainer since mine had a full barn and that was the biggest mistake ive made. The trainer didnt want me there for training sessions and then an accident happend leaving him on stall rest for 3 months. After that he was a different horse. He flipped when he seen trailers, one day he would ride well and another day he would try to dart , buck , rear and if you fell off you had to get up quick because he would litterally try trampling you. He was sold as a pasture pet.

A couple years ago i purchased a super cute paint filly with awsome westernpleasure lines and was moving great on a lunge. I kept her with my trainer that i trust and love. At 3 years of age i almost placed her up for sale because she was only 14.1 hands and by apha rule book they have to be 14.2 and above " NYS hardly has any apha approved shows" and pinto she has to be 14 3 and taller and thats more of what is up here in nys. It was a hard decision for me but i kept her and decided to just show for fun in local shows. Fast forward to now and i have a mare thats excelling in western pleasure that has a super sweet and forgiving additude . Nothing phases her . Ive had so many people throw random offeres at me becasue they like her so much . And we have clicked. We are two peas in a pod and she has grown enough to show in the bigger shows . Shes my little diamond i found out in the rough.
