No no.. his sire was just retired, McErril. Gizmo carries on that legacy..I'll have to clarify that in the intro.
His temperament is true connemara, an Irish Gent w/ a sense of humor..
He's the horse who fell out of the sky.
He had been kept stall bound for years by a fearful backyard breeder. When she sold her farm she was unable to get him in a trailer so she gave him to me. We started in the round pen and took him from ground work and sacking out, to the show arena in three years. It's a long story, it was a lot of work, but today he's on his way up. I'll be posting the whole tale soon, as the site is still under construction.
Thanks for the compliment, but that's me..LOL you made my day..Heck, you made my week, and it's only Tuesday.
I thought when you said you were a proud parent, you were speaking of the rider, not the horse! :~D
Great job rehabilitating a great animal that didn't deserve a lousy start. I'd love to hear the story.
Beautiful - Thanks for sharing.... Let us know when you post the story - I love sweet endings :)
