I have been going to Slocum's Appaloosa Ranch since September of this year. As a teenager, I love riding horses. As an overweight adult, I never thought I would ever ride horses again. Well as luck would have it, we for the Ranch to ride at. After we had ridden 4 times, the owner asked Larry what he did for a living. Well he is a mechanic. She said oh...would you like to barter some services. She had a truck with a blown head gasket and another that needed a new engine. So the result of that work is my new horse. Jubilee. So not only am I riding again but that 13 year old teenager I used to be finally got herself a horse. Only took me 38 years to get here.
I will be at the Ranch again Sunday and will get pictures of me riding her. She is young...she will be 4 January 13, 2014. So she still has about 3 years of growing to do. She was born in a snow storm. They thought about naming her Snowflake...and I am so glad they didn't. Jubilee fits her so well.
She is broke but still a little green so there won't be any long trail rides yet. But she can go on the baby trail. But with it being so cold Sunday (high of 35) I will just ride her in the ring.
She is a Paintaloosa....Paint horse and Appaloosa...and both her parents have work horse in them. So she will be a big girl.
I will post more pictures Monday!!
