I've been riding since I was about 10.
My Uncle ran the trail rides up at Fairmont Hot Springs BC.
In 1983,I had $3000.00 in my Bank Account that needed to be spent.
I had to choose between Buying :
1) Boat & Trailer & all the equipment to enjoy Water Skiing.
Price $ 2800.00
2) A 1968 Holiday Trailer that had everything to go with it.
Price $2500.00
3) A 4 year old Palamino with all the Tack w/2-Horse Trailer.
Price $1800.00
What did I decide.
The Holiday trailer.
I really wanted to by the Holiday trailer & the middle 1/3 of the horse.
That way I wouldn't have to :
Feed it
Clean-up after it
All I would do is ride it.
They said I couldn't do that .
I don't know why ,.... I had $600.00 cash

Any draft horse people? I have a pair of Percherons that are quiet friends. We always had them as I was growing up. My father and brother still have 8 on the home place. They show a bit. I remember riding them in the woods yarding when I was too small to follow the horse on the ground. We've also got a small horse, a Belgian/Quarter cross. They don't get enough work but just yesterday I saw them chase a coyote that was way too close to the sheep.

That settles it. Bigorn takes Prairies , and I'll take Brokers Paycheck. I always liked horses with "fire".
I grew up with horses. That's my wish for someday to go riding again. My family's closest friend had peruvian pasos. One of their competition is to ride across the arena with a glass of champagne and again with an egg held out on a spoon. The moral is to test the smoothness of each horse's gate.
Then I got my own paint. I went everywhere with my boy(horse). Rode him thru a drive-thru. Took him to a 7-11 (road appled on a camaro), while I was inside the store. And even got stuck in quicksand. My family's friends were all cowboys, so we had our share of rodeos, etc. I'd ride whatever I was thrown (stang, stallion).
Ever seen a gypsy vanner? WOW!! The little girl in me says "I'd LOVE to just ride one". Talk about a horse to die for. Look it up. BEAUTIFUL.

I have had horses my whole life. Started out with Quarters showed, then got a hot Quarter-Arab and barreled, last breed I will ever own is a Tennessee Walker now.... Have 2 and one more due in the spring (hopefully a Tobiano at that)!
