Very nice. I miss my horse. When I was a kid we had a gray appaloosa. Another Beautiful animal...

Appaloosas are cool.

I worked on a ranch when I was a kid where they had an awesome one. He had a great stop on him.


I had several ponies for my kids when they were growing up.

Is it me? I can't find the guitar pickup pun in your post.

Just when I think I'm catching on...

One of the greatest experiences of my lif was raising a colt for two years. He was huge, but a gentle giant who had human contact daily. When it was time to ride him, I was able to just climb up & ride. I just loved that guy.

I couldn't afford to keep him, and ended up donating him to a group called Equest, which match horses with handicapped kids. They assigned Beamer to a 12 yr old paraplegic girl who is training to actually jump with him! I get pics occasionally, one of her in her wheelchair with a soapy sponge bathing him brings tears to my eyes.... I know I made the right decision.
