Hello Bella and Goodbye

Apparently the trade didn't work. I was ok with the trade of Bella for Tonto. Especially the "for Tonto" part. He is extremely green broke. I guess the previous owners let him do whatever he wanted to when they rode and never made him do what they wanted. He is ok to ride if you don't challenge his opinion of what to do. He has already bucked off and hurt someone at his new home. The part that didn't work was her losing Bella. She decided she can't live without Bella. She's going to let us have a 14yr old Arab/Quarter horse that is for beginners. She is a light bay color. Other than that, I don't know much about her. We'll see.

Tonto's Gone!!

This weekend, we traded Tonto for a better model. As I said in a previous post, Tonto was not the horse for us. Instead, we now have an 18 yr old Tennessee Walker that is about the color of dark chocolate. Her name is Bella. She is very sweet but probably starting to be a little arthritic and needs to gain between 100 and 200 pounds. I got her Saturday and rode her Saturday, and Sunday. I have never ridden a gaited horse and am not entirely sure about how to ride in the gaited walk. I am used to a western pleasure type horse.
