Hi
my name is Sallie. I'm 14 and I have a mare named Ella. We do hunters-jumpers
in the show circuit. I love Ella so much! I have jumped her 3'3'' but we
usually stick to 2' 6''. In our show we had just this weekend we jumped
2' 3'' and got Reserved Champion. She is my first horse and I got her for
my 13 th birthday and she is the best b-day present I've ever gotten. Just
to tell you about Ella she was abused and had to stand in her own poop all
the time because her owners never cleaned her stall. All she was fed was
deer corn and the vets said it was an amazing miracle that her insides didn't
rot out(if you know what deer corn is ull know what I mean). We board @
Sundance Stable (the best barn in the world!!!) and Ella now eats all the
grass and grain she wants and also has great care. Her show name is “Ella Enchanted”,
and I want everyone to know that horses are the best thing that can happen
to a person just about. She helps me get through bad days and hard times!
I love ELLA~!!!!!

Hello. My name is
Jenny and I am 13 years old. I have a horse who's name is Bologna (say it
with an "I.) I know it's a funny name. I have had him for about a year and
a half and I love him so much. He is the best horse I have ever had and will
be. He's 5 years old and he will do anything you tell him to do. He also
has the best personality and is very smart. He knows his name and when you
go over to him all he does is give you kisses. He knows me and and he always
whinnies to me when I am going over to get him from his stall, but I don't
think he knows that I have to leave him. No one knows that I cry every night
about him, not even my parents. I have to leave him because I am growing
to big for him and I would buy him, but my parents don't have the money.
I remember the last day I rode him. He was so good as usual. After my ride,
I went out to graze him. As I was there, watch his little muzzle
chomp on the grass, a tear ran down my cheek. I was so sad. I didn't want
to leave him. I picked a piece of grass and I would and will always keep
it. It reminds me of him and the last day I saw him. The next day. I stood
there with him and my mom watching my trainers put him into the trailer.
More tears came and I tried not to cry, but I could not help it. I gave him
one last kiss and wondered if I would ever see him again. The truck drove
down the driveway and that's the last I ever saw of him. How I long to see
that beautiful face one more time.
Hi my name
is Megan and this is my horse Sterling! I'm 12 years old and Sterling is
6. I got Sterling about 3 weeks ago and I have loved owning him from the
start. Sterling is an Appendix horse which means he's a quarter horse thoroughbred
cross, he is a solid sorrel chestnut. Sterling is 6 years old and he is 16.0
hh and the best horse ever! Sterling loves to trail and goes both English
and Western, he loves to jump to and he is sooo sweet and affectionate! But
as I got to know him more I realized we had 2 problems, 1 he bucks at times
and 2 he is a bit nasty when it comes to food. These were 2 traits though
I'm determined to fix and I won't let them stand in our way. The bucking
I found out was from a different camp program were little kids were jamming
on his mouth and he just started getting confused so he started to buck.
In the last 2 weeks I have found our solution and he bucks no more he now
knows I am here for him and we have become the best of friends. Then about
the being aggressive with food thing I also realized wasn't his fault. See
Sterling used to have to actually fight for his food and now he doesn't like
it when anyone but me gets to close when he's eating. I have been riding
since I was 3 years old and I have a job working at a barn for about 1 ½ years
now! I live on a 125 acre camp in NJ and we have a riding program so I started
riding when I was 3 and rode every summer and winter with a trainer who I
have now grown very close with. Last year on my birthday my parents said
I could get a horse! I was sooooooo excited! So after our camp season was
done for the year I have been looking for my perfect horse. Well about 4
weeks ago I called the woman that we get our horses from every year and told
her I was ready and we went down to meet a horse she thought was perfect
for me. Well that whole week I spent going down and getting to know my soon
to be horse, Sterling! Well on Sunday October 2, 2005 at 11:45 a.m. he came
pulling up in a trailer! Ever since then we have been in-separable and I
cannot imagine not having my best by my side where ever I go and whatever
I do.
Thanks for reading about me and my horse (who is by the way the best horse
ever) Sterling!

Hey,
just thought id send in a pic of my two mares. Im 16 and I really
love horses alot, thats why i own Flash (the Pinto) and Pricilla (the Chestnut). Flash
is a 3 year old Arab Quarter horse cross. I bought her at an auction
for $250.00 they were going to send her to the killer pens if i didn't buy
her, i felt sorry for her and took her home. She was Spooky and I had
to leave a lead rope attached to her halter just so i could catch her. but
now she is pest one of my best friends ever. Pricilla on the other
hand, she was a pest when i got her, she could see me coming a mile away
(lol) i would walk out the door and she would whinney at me! She is a pure-bred
Quarter Horse, I bought her off the race track and sent her to a professional
horse trainer and he trained to be a cutting horse, so ive been working with
her practicing for the next cutting horse competition. I still race
her in the match races... she can run 9.43 seconds in 200 yards!
thats fast......... but she is awesome. Love Ya Flash & Prissy!

called Vanilla Sky and she is In-Foal.I cant wait until she has her foal!!!!
Hello, I am Shasta.
My horse is an Arabian and she is 21 years young ! It is funny, because she
always acts like she is four ! She is very well trained, and I hope one day
I get to go to shows with her. My friendship with her is very nice. Sometimes
she is moody, but I help her get through it as soon as possible. I have an
instructor named Bev, she has been riding for 60 years ! I like her alot
because she understands how I feel on Lonnie's back. I have lots of friends
that love horses, and I hope to ride with them soon. So goodbye for now.
love:shasta

My name is
Rachel R. and This is me and my 24 yr old quarter horse mare Teddy Bear Scoot.
For years I had dreamed of owning a horse. When I started riding lessons
5 yrs ago my riding teacher helped me find the perfect horse for me to barrel
race on. The first thing I saw of Teddy Bear was the bottom of her feet,
she ran as fast as she could to get away from us, she was raised by an abusive
owner, and trained by an abusive trainer she still has scars on her sides
from spurs, she was terifided of people when we got her it took a whole 2
hours to get her in the trailer. After a couple of days she realized we meant
her no harm. Now Teddy is the sweetest horse I've ever known and ever will
know. She always comes when you call and is no longer scared of people but
shes not too fond of cowboy hats. Teddy Bear is the love of my life, and
she will always come before myself. Teddy turns 25 this year but don't let
her age fool you she still acts like a filly,and shes still got her good
looks. Thank you for your time.
Rachel and Teddy Bear :)

past and my mother got her for me from the sales. At the age of twelve i
grew out of rhainnon but hung onto her until literally my legs reach the

1/2 year old gelding named Pooh Bear! They are both very
wonderful horses. I've had both horses since they were 2 weeks old. i was
there when pooh bear was born and it was a GREAT experince. Lilly is
Pooh Bear's mother. Lilly loves to run, she gets very excited when
she sees barrels, or jumps, she LOVES to jump. Pooh bear loves to do
tricks... he can shake, smile and say no. Here is a picture of

Hi!
My name is Christyna and this is me and my Appaloosa
Mare DZ'S Princessa aka Zippy. I'm 15 and I live in
north Texas. Zippy is my show horse that I ride Hunter
under saddle and horsemanship, Showmanship, Western
pleasure, and horsemanship,and trail. She is truly
my favorite horse in the world. Zippy and I go to the
Appaloosa Youth World Show every year except this year
cause she had a little filly named Faith. I've only
been to the world show 2 times with her and we have
won 3 top tens together. One in Halter,one in Showmanship
and on in Western Horsemanship. Between Zippy and my
trainer Dawn I've learned show much and advanced very
fast in my riding and I'm so very thankful plus my
Mom and my Dad for coming behide me and wrighting all
those checks so that I could have the chance to suceed
in all that I do and start my future career in the
horse world. Soon Faith will be weaned and I will be
able to start riding Zippy again in September and go
to youth world and win or even just have good rides
and do the best we can do.

Hi! My name is Carolyn and I am 11 years old. This
is about my horse Misty! Misty is 28 years old and
I am right now trying to find out her breed..... see,
my riding teacher had been at a auction and found a
horse she thought would make a good stable mate for
the horse we were boarding for her at the time (I also
have a story about Redman the horse we were boarding)
Well I was about 8 and 1/2 at the time and when I saw
her trailer pull up I was sure she was here to take
Redman back!! (little did I know my parents were buying
him for me behind my back........) I was in tears
for a minute! Then she lead out pretty Misty! She showed
us her freeze brand and said that made her a mustang
that was captured in the wild, not bred in captivity.
Well she's been a just awesome horse for the past 3
years, but I decided about a month ago to go to the
BLM (the mustang people) and ask for information about
Misty. I sent them the freeze brand and found out she
is not a blm mustang and is maybe not a mustnag at
all! But I did find out she is 28. She has gotten really
skinny because of dental problems and we
are trying to get her weight up and she is sort
of battling different hoof problems but like my dad
says, she's definitly a "Hardy Horse!" She is such
a sweet mare and I lover her!
Love *Carolyn* & *Misty*
Hi
im Ella and this is my favorite pony in the world his
name is danny and he is a arab.Even though i had a big
inserdent witch the police were involved in.I was on
a 2 hour hack and i had to take all the canters since
one of the ladies had never riden before.it was the
the last one and i ahd taken it i thought but he didnt
stop i pulled back and half halted him i didnt scream
though!He galloped down a massive hill and i was so
worried. suddenly i thought he was going to stop but
no he carried on i could see the road so i jumped off
and danny got hit at least he is still alive i love
him so much.
Hi!
My name is Carolyn and this is about my 23 year old
Quarter Horse gelding RedMan! RedMan is probably the
most stubborn horse that exists on this plannet but
he is SO sweet and I love him a ton. Here's how I got
red baby, when I was 8 after my riding lesson I was
sitting there petting my horse I had had the lesson
on (REDMAN!!!!!!!!!!!:) And I heard my teacher talking
to my dad about boarding RedMan at our house because
the other horses were picking on him and he needed a
place where no one could pick on him and he could get
lots of love. My dad and I talked about it on the way
home and we stopped at my Grandmother's house on the
way and talked to her too. My dad said it was fine by
him BUT it had to be ok with my mom. We got home, talked
to her and she said....... YES!!!!!!!! I was so excited.
My dad and I spent weeks marking off and putting up
a good sized paddock fence for him. Finally the day
came and we got Redman!!! I was so happy. Redman was
18 then but he still has as much energy as a 5 year
old!!!!! He is sweet, pretty and I love him so much.
I have learned to canter, gallop, jump, and canter bareback
on him. He has brought me through all that and its so
funny because if we were looking for a horse we would
probably never have found them but instead since we
weren't, he came to us!!!!

I
had dreamed about having my very own Paint horse since
i could remember...well 2 years ago at the age of 15
I got my dream horse! She's a Bay Tobiano Paint and
is very cute! Her name is Silly Miss Key Toe, and is
11 years old...12 in 4 months. She is due to have her
VERY first foal in 3 months, and hopefully will be a
colt!
When you put your hand through the bars of her stall,
she pins her ears back, nods her head, and tries to
nip you...which is really cute! i showed her in Showmanship
and hopefully this summer will show her in Dressage
with the baby in Showmanship class! The stud that bred
Silly Miss Key Toe is named Camerons Red Cloud!...solo!
and is VERY handsome! Skeeter is a very loving little
girl and loves people and nickers to me everytime i
go to the barn to see her.
When Silly Miss Key Toe was born, her old owner Jean
was leading her VERY big and pregnant mare down to the
barn when the VERY pregnant mare flopped on her side
and had Silly Miss Key Toe. When the new born baby came
they called her Silly Miss Key Toe cause she was covered
in Mosquitoes when she was born! she is now 11 years
old and had been to only one person that owned her for
about 2 years until my father purchased her 2 years

gallop on her. She might be pregnant too. Toto is Cleo's
baby. He can already wear a halter and a lead rope.
He is very fast too. Jordan is the lead stallion of
the group. He is very gentle, yet strict when he needs
to be. He Is a champion at Dressage for 6 years.

Hi,
my name is Becky, and I live in New Brunswick
Canada and I always wanted my very own baby
horse....So when my moms arab/saddlebred mare was due
to foal I prayed that it would be a little girl....Well
she was born on Augustt 25, 2004 at 8:45pm right
in front of my mother and me....I got to see my dream
come true....We called her "Meant To Be Red Robin" she
was very small and her dad is a Paint we call Apache.
She is going to be my project to train to walk nice when you lead her and pick
up her feet and what ever I want to do with her,,,I hope to be able to show her
maybe next summer in Halter class....I love her so much She will grow up with
me
Hello
My name is Kayla and when I was about 13 my mother bought
our first Quarter Horse filly she was one when we got
her and she hated to be cliped to when she turned 3
my mom bred her to One Good Cookie, so lady was due
for a 2003 foal. When that cold march came around I
started getting more excited because it would be the
first quarter horse foal born on our stable. The night
lady gave birth she had a bay colt, with a small white
star. That night "Boogie" was born, I stayed outside
with him even though it was a school night, by the time
boogie was born i was 15, then the next few nights at
feeding time for the horses i would go in the stall
with lady and boogie and would sing to him and he would
lay down and fall asleep next to me. Then the first
time we let boogie out after the snow was gone, he followed
me around and wouldnt leave my side, summer came quickly
and boogie was growing a little older, when I would
go out to the pasture he would nicker to me and come
running over, and I would sit on the ground next to
the stable and boogie would come over and lay on me,
and sometimes I would use him as my pillow, then came
the weaning part, when he was weaned he made friends
with the other horses, but everytime he seen me he would
look at me and whinny,then come running over. I decided
I would start to train boogie because we had such a
close bond together. The first night he came in the
barn by him self with out his mother he wouldnt eat
his grain, so I had to go in his stall and hold his
bucket and sing to him. or else he wouldnt eat. Then
the winter came pretty fast and one night I was in the
barn and it was very cold so I just decided i would
work with him so I got him out and taught him to jog
with me on the lead rope. He learned very fast. When
the next march came around boogie turned 1 and he was
such a quiet guy, but we decided to geld him so I could
show him anywhere since i am only 16. Then when i decided
that i wanted to show boogie, I trained him to follow
me around and he follows me around, and I taught him
how to lounge, and now he is only 1 1/2 and I have him
doing lounge line perfect and he likes saddles on him,
and I can sit on him already. everyone always picked
on boogie since he was little and said he was ugly,
and that he was very short and would never amount to
anything, he reminds me of seabiscuit, small horse big
heart.At boogies first show I took him to, he was a
little scared but he was a good boy he got right on
the trailer for the first time after he seen me walk
on it, he rode good to the show, and when we got there
he was really quiet but he would whinny alot if I left
him, and in our first class which was showmanship, we
took first place out of 7 or 8 people, and he was the
smallest horses there, but the best behaved! I was really
proud of him! And we love eachother I feel like hes
my own child, and when I'm sad or mad and go to boogie
He makes me feel good, he has a personality of like
my best friend, I feel i can tell him anything and he
understands what I say! I cant wait to start riding
him in the spring. We both trust eachother all the way!
This is basically the beginning story of a dream come true about a little 10 year old girl named Opal and a little filly named Coco. Opal's dream has now became a reality. Through the years, tears, and occasional scars she and Coco will grow up together riding in and out of adventures. A lifelong bond will be created and they will never far apart no matter how good or how bad the times. Using lessons about life learned along the trails they will make it through with God's grace. The help and advice they receive along the way will always be appreciated and over time, a commitment to help others will firmly set. To ride a horse is a dream that almost every child, and most adults inherit. To have a trusted lifelong companion is living the dream. To see someone's dream come to reality is truly wonderful. That’s what grandparents are for.

Hi.My name is Lauren R., I own this colt named Dixie. She isn't mine yet, we are still thinking of buying her. The big mare is her Mother, Cool Sahrah. I will be very sad if I do not get her, but she will always be in my heart. I think horses are very rewarding to care for,and only should be treated kindly. I love your website, and if i do get Dixie, I will probably by my stuff from you! Bye!

Hi, I'm Sarah from the UK, and this is a pic of my pony, Spirit. She is 14.3 hh and she can jump really well. I'm 13 and once we were jumping against up to 16 year olds, because we were in a teenage showjumping contest, and I couldn't believe it when we came 1st!!!! It was all thanks to Spirit, she's the best!

hey,
my name is Jessica and i live in Yellville Arkansas with my horse Flash.
I bought her when i was 14 as a green broke 2 year old , and am currently
training her as a barrel racer. about a week after I bought her i realized
that i was the only one she trusted enough to be around her.my sisters and
friends couldn't even touch her unless i was there.today she is still the
same way.when i turned 15 July 7th i got her shod and started riding her out
on the trails with other horses,she is doing really well and is the sweetest
horse i have ever met!
in the picture the colt is my moms baby mule that she bought about a week
ago his name is Blue Dude
love ya flash!
Hello!
My name is Lexi Jones an I own a Tennessee Walking Horse! He isn't
all mine though. I am just in the process of buying him. His name is Cadillac
Jack. But everyone just calls him Jack! I have ridden him for about two years
now and I absolutely love him! He has a blaze and no other markings, and
he is seal brown. I have formed a very special, and unusual bond with him
over the past two years. The relationship I have with him is just amazing,
nothing I have ever seen before. We trust each other completely, and we both
absolutely love each other. He even hides behind me when someone else tries
to feed him grain! I have never known a horse that couldn't resist grain.
Well, I have ridden him in lots of 4-H horse shows and at Fair! It is really
fun and I wish I could keep doing it. I can not keep doing 4-H or keep buying
Jack. My dad said that it is too expensive. Which of course is true. It does
cost alot of money. But...I have loved and taken care of Jack for so long,
that I can't bear the thought of getting rid of him! It is really sad. I
can't help but cry when I think that the only horse I love, is going away.
I will really miss Jack. He was the most fun to train and ride, out of all
the horses that I have been around. He is the most gorgeous Tennessee Walker.
I know this picture is kind of bad, but I didn't have a good one of him,
if you actually saw him, you would think he was beautiful. I love him so
much, and I will miss him tons. I love you Jack!
My name is Courtney Tyra and I own a beautiful mare and a 7 week old colt. They are identical black except for Prince (for short) has a smaller white star and 4 white stockings. Midnight has had 7 foal but two of them died after birth because the sac was to thick and no one was there to help the foals. Prince was the last foal Midnight is going to have, but Prince is going to continue the family! I have shown Midnight many times and she has won lots of ribbons and some blue ones to. I am planning to show Prince in many shows and hopefully he will win more blue ribbons than 4th or 5th or any place after that. Prince and Midnight are very alike in many ways. For intents they both love alfalfa hay. The funniest thing Prince has done is rear up and start bucking. The worst thing that has happened to Prince is that he found out the meaning of barbwire fence. The funniest thing that has happened to Midnight is that she ate my hot dog at a horse show and spit the bun out. . The worst thing that happened to her is when she was very close to her due date with Prince is that someone put her with Besty (one of my uncle's mares) started to kick Midnight in the stomach! I wouldn’t trade or sell Midnight or Prince for anything in the world!

This is my baby Della. I joined an Equine Rescue, that
didn't work out. But I did adobt Della before I got out
of it. Della is my world I will do anything for her and
she will do anything for me. When I got her she was underweight
and her hair was thin. Now she is in good health. She
is so funny at times, I have 3 watch dogs and one watch
horse. I have a sign on the gate that reads Beware of
dogs and Horse. Della can make it to the gate before
the dogs can. She Does Not like Strangers.

Hey
there!!!
My names Megan (13 Canada)
2 years ago my Uncle's mare had her 3rd foal (same
stud) I always wanted to have my own foal I already
had a 12 year old mare that went lame on me because
of her wieght but was slowly coming back.My Uncle
decide to give me the horse for like a really awesome
present. So there i was with a 3 day old colt we
had named Mac(Short for Bonchance Mac Peppy)A beautiful
Bay Quarter Horse with a nosey personality.I've
been working with him for those 2 years as much as
i can and right now I can ride my 2 year old up into
a fast trot. I'm also hoping to send him for a month
of training to a really good trainer in the fall
and next year I want to show him in the Maritime
Quarter Horse circit Mostly racing Barrels and
pole bending (but all aroud work too like reining some
english pleasure and stuff like that.....like my
old horse Abby) hopefully beating my dad on his
3 year old red dun QH, Gunner
Macs a very sweet boy and very smart!!!
I know he loves me cause he's my baby and i love
him. Most people think it's just the same old story
about a bond between a girl and her horse and it
is we have something very special.
Hey!!
This is my horse Boy. His registered name is Cindy's
Sterling Boy( boy for short) He is a Missouri Fox Trotter.
I got him when he was 15. We also have his mom who
was 20 when we got her. Boy will be 21 this year. I
love to go down the road and trail ride with him. We
also love to jump!!! He is a nice horse, but often
has mood swings with other people. I have never showed
him, but I hope to do so soon. He used to be very mean,
but I have been working with him, and now I can do
a whole bunch of stuff with him.......I can even gallop
bareback! He hates having to leave his mom, but he
hates my pony oakie!! I love him sooo much! I don’t
know what I would have done without him.
Bye!

February
2000, I went to a horse auction in the lower part of
Missourri, it was a cold, wet and icy day . Looking
for a shetlandpony! I saw a beautyful Missourri Foxtrotter
mare with her very ugly, sorrel, sick 5 month old colt.
he looked so sorry, that I called him THE SORRY SORREL,
he was not weaned and in the worst place on earth, poor
thing. The mare got sold and the little guy was put
up for sale again, nobody wanted him and I felt soooo
sorry for him, so I bought him for almost nothing. I
called my husband to put up a fence and wait for our
arrival. The little guy left his mom and followed me
without a problem into the two-horse trailer. He was
a sweet guy I thaught,wrong, he was very ill, to ill
to fight. We made it home, and I thaught if he survives
we always can find him a home ! As a yearling and two
year old he won the Highpoint Awards in halter against
" The Local Cream", they bad mouthed my sweet little
Sorrel, I cried and loved my " SORRY SORREL" even more.
In September , just before Rocky turned three years
old,without ever been to a big show I TOOK MY PRETTY
DUCKLING to" The Missourri FOXTROTTER WORLD Show 2002.
" My horse Racheals Rocket became Reserve World Champion
Modelhorse, 3 weeks before he turned 3 years old!!!!!
In 2003 I showed him once under saddle , bred a few
mares and turned him out for the season. Get ready folks
he will be back in the showring to continue making HEADLINES

Hay!! My name is Katie and I just got a horse named
Belle. Belle is 4 years old and she is a bay thoroughbred.
She used to be a racehorse. When she raced, her name
was She's Cosmic. I plan to use that name as her show
name this summer. My instructor bought Belle as a retired
racehorse from the Canter Program. About 6th months
later, We bought Belle from her. I love Belle so much,
and even though I have had her for a short period of
time, I can't remember what it was like without her.
Belle pretty much loves any kind of treat, sometimes
a little too much! She is now being trained to jump,
which she's doing really well in and I can't wait to
get her in the show ring! She seems like such a part
of me now, and I know we will grow to work even better
as a team in the years to come.
~Hay~
My name is Alyssa and this is a picture of my horse
Nica. Nica is a bay thoroughbred mare. She is very special
to me and is a big part of my life. For a very long
time I have wanted a horse. Around July 2002 my parents
finally said that I could start looking for a horse.
My instructor, Ingrid, helped me look. We were on the
Internet and found a website. This website was called
CANTER. This is a program to help ex-racehorses find
a new home. Through this program our trainer / instructor
has gotten 4 horses and have each gotten a great home.
Nica loves to jump. She and I have like IDENTICAL personalties.
We both like the same things. Nica has been to two
shows in the time that I have had her. We went to a
show in De Pere, Wisconsin (I live in Wisconsin) in
June 2003 and another one in October of 2003 in Occonomowalk.
The picture below is of our October show. She and I
make a good team. Nica has the will and endurance to
work. She absolutely loves it. It is funny to see how
we have changed eachother. When I got Nica she was a
fat ex-racehorse with no muscle and a lot of energy.
She has changed me in a sense of she made me stronger
physically and emotionally. I am not afraid of things
as much now as I used to be.
Ginger
This is my horse, Ginger. I havehad her for 5 years.
She
is 14 years old. She loves apples. HATES carrots. We
don't know why though. Her brother Cowboy loves them!!!
Cowboy is my sisters horse. We have been riding for
10 years. The horse I had before Ginger was Angel. She
was beautiful. She was a mustang. Was 14 to. I rather
not say what happened but I guess I will. We had to...put
her down. She got really sick and there was nothing
we could do. Ginger is in great shape. I will never
sell her.

Hi
my name is Sallie. I'm 14 and I have a mare named Ella. We do hunters-jumpers
in the show circuit. I love Ella so much! I have jumped her 3'3'' but we
usually stick to 2' 6''. In our show we had just this weekend we jumped
2' 3'' and got Reserved Champion. She is my first horse and I got her for
my 13 th birthday and she is the best b-day present I've ever gotten. Just
to tell you about Ella she was abused and had to stand in her own poop all
the time because her owners never cleaned her stall. All she was fed was
deer corn and the vets said it was an amazing miracle that her insides didn't
rot out(if you know what deer corn is ull know what I mean). We board @
Sundance Stable (the best barn in the world!!!) and Ella now eats all the
grass and grain she wants and also has great care. Her show name is “Ella Enchanted”,
and I want everyone to know that horses are the best thing that can happen
to a person just about. She helps me get through bad days and hard times!
I love ELLA~!!!!! 
This is my favorite

Hello. My name is
Jenny and I am 13 years old. I have a horse who's name is Bologna (say it
with an "I.) I know it's a funny name. I have had him for about a year and
a half and I love him so much. He is the best horse I have ever had and will
be. He's 5 years old and he will do anything you tell him to do. He also
has the best personality and is very smart. He knows his name and when you
go over to him all he does is give you kisses. He knows me and and he always
whinnies to me when I am going over to get him from his stall, but I don't
think he knows that I have to leave him. No one knows that I cry every night
about him, not even my parents. I have to leave him because I am growing
to big for him and I would buy him, but my parents don't have the money.
I remember the last day I rode him. He was so good as usual. After my ride,
I went out to graze him. As I was there, watch his little muzzle
chomp on the grass, a tear ran down my cheek. I was so sad. I didn't want
to leave him. I picked a piece of grass and I would and will always keep
it. It reminds me of him and the last day I saw him. The next day. I stood
there with him and my mom watching my trainers put him into the trailer.
More tears came and I tried not to cry, but I could not help it. I gave him
one last kiss and wondered if I would ever see him again. The truck drove
down the driveway and that's the last I ever saw of him. How I long to see
that beautiful face one more time.
Hi my name
is Megan and this is my horse Sterling! I'm 12 years old and Sterling is
6. I got Sterling about 3 weeks ago and I have loved owning him from the
start. Sterling is an Appendix horse which means he's a quarter horse thoroughbred
cross, he is a solid sorrel chestnut. Sterling is 6 years old and he is 16.0
hh and the best horse ever! Sterling loves to trail and goes both English
and Western, he loves to jump to and he is sooo sweet and affectionate! But
as I got to know him more I realized we had 2 problems, 1 he bucks at times
and 2 he is a bit nasty when it comes to food. These were 2 traits though
I'm determined to fix and I won't let them stand in our way. The bucking
I found out was from a different camp program were little kids were jamming
on his mouth and he just started getting confused so he started to buck.
In the last 2 weeks I have found our solution and he bucks no more he now
knows I am here for him and we have become the best of friends. Then about
the being aggressive with food thing I also realized wasn't his fault. See
Sterling used to have to actually fight for his food and now he doesn't like
it when anyone but me gets to close when he's eating. I have been riding
since I was 3 years old and I have a job working at a barn for about 1 ½ years
now! I live on a 125 acre camp in NJ and we have a riding program so I started
riding when I was 3 and rode every summer and winter with a trainer who I
have now grown very close with. Last year on my birthday my parents said
I could get a horse! I was sooooooo excited! So after our camp season was
done for the year I have been looking for my perfect horse. Well about 4
weeks ago I called the woman that we get our horses from every year and told
her I was ready and we went down to meet a horse she thought was perfect
for me. Well that whole week I spent going down and getting to know my soon
to be horse, Sterling! Well on Sunday October 2, 2005 at 11:45 a.m. he came
pulling up in a trailer! Ever since then we have been in-separable and I
cannot imagine not having my best by my side where ever I go and whatever
I do. 
Hey,
just thought id send in a pic of my two mares. Im 16 and I really
love horses alot, thats why i own Flash (the Pinto) and Pricilla (the Chestnut). Flash
is a 3 year old Arab Quarter horse cross. I bought her at an auction
for $250.00 they were going to send her to the killer pens if i didn't buy
her, i felt sorry for her and took her home. She was Spooky and I had
to leave a lead rope attached to her halter just so i could catch her. but
now she is pest one of my best friends ever. Pricilla on the other
hand, she was a pest when i got her, she could see me coming a mile away
(lol) i would walk out the door and she would whinney at me! She is a pure-bred
Quarter Horse, I bought her off the race track and sent her to a professional
horse trainer and he trained to be a cutting horse, so ive been working with
her practicing for the next cutting horse competition. I still race
her in the match races... she can run 9.43 seconds in 200 yards!
thats fast......... but she is awesome. Love Ya Flash & Prissy!

Hello, I am Shasta.
My horse is an Arabian and she is 21 years young ! It is funny, because she
always acts like she is four ! She is very well trained, and I hope one day
I get to go to shows with her. My friendship with her is very nice. Sometimes
she is moody, but I help her get through it as soon as possible. I have an
instructor named Bev, she has been riding for 60 years ! I like her alot
because she understands how I feel on Lonnie's back. I have lots of friends
that love horses, and I hope to ride with them soon. So goodbye for now.

My name is
Rachel R. and This is me and my 24 yr old quarter horse mare Teddy Bear Scoot.
For years I had dreamed of owning a horse. When I started riding lessons
5 yrs ago my riding teacher helped me find the perfect horse for me to barrel
race on. The first thing I saw of Teddy Bear was the bottom of her feet,
she ran as fast as she could to get away from us, she was raised by an abusive
owner, and trained by an abusive trainer she still has scars on her sides
from spurs, she was terifided of people when we got her it took a whole 2
hours to get her in the trailer. After a couple of days she realized we meant
her no harm. Now Teddy is the sweetest horse I've ever known and ever will
know. She always comes when you call and is no longer scared of people but
shes not too fond of cowboy hats. Teddy Bear is the love of my life, and
she will always come before myself. Teddy turns 25 this year but don't let
her age fool you she still acts like a filly,and shes still got her good
looks. Thank you for your time. 
Hey!!! This is
my two horses, Cindy and Sterling. Cindy is the white one and Sterling is
the Red Roan. I have had them for 8 yrs now, and I love them!!!! We enjoy
doing Dressage, jumping, western events and trail riding!! We love to do
it all!!!! When we first got the horses, they were skinny and about 300 lbs
underweight. We have been taking care of them, and exercising them and now
they are wonderful!!!! Cindy is Sterling's mom. They are Missouri Fox Trotters,
and they are the best!!! They are loving and love to eat!!! I'm so glad they
are in my life!!!! Thanks for this website!!! I love it!!

hello, 
Hi,
I'm Tabby Z. I own a 8 year old Quarter Horse mare named lilly and a 1 and
1/2 year old gelding named Pooh Bear! They are both very
wonderful horses. I've had both horses since they were 2 weeks old. i was
there when pooh bear was born and it was a GREAT experince. Lilly is
Pooh Bear's mother. Lilly loves to run, she gets very excited when
she sees barrels, or jumps, she LOVES to jump. Pooh bear loves to do
tricks... he can shake, smile and say no. Here is a picture of
them both. Pooh bear is only 2 months old in that picture 
Hi!
My name is Christyna and this is me and my Appaloosa
Mare DZ'S Princessa aka Zippy. I'm 15 and I live in
north Texas. Zippy is my show horse that I ride Hunter
under saddle and horsemanship, Showmanship, Western
pleasure, and horsemanship,and trail. She is truly
my favorite horse in the world. Zippy and I go to the
Appaloosa Youth World Show every year except this year
cause she had a little filly named Faith. I've only
been to the world show 2 times with her and we have
won 3 top tens together. One in Halter,one in Showmanship
and on in Western Horsemanship. Between Zippy and my
trainer Dawn I've learned show much and advanced very
fast in my riding and I'm so very thankful plus my
Mom and my Dad for coming behide me and wrighting all
those checks so that I could have the chance to suceed
in all that I do and start my future career in the
horse world. Soon Faith will be weaned and I will be
able to start riding Zippy again in September and go
to youth world and win or even just have good rides
and do the best we can do. 
Hi! My name is Carolyn and I am 11 years old. This
is about my horse Misty! Misty is 28 years old and
I am right now trying to find out her breed..... see,
my riding teacher had been at a auction and found a
horse she thought would make a good stable mate for
the horse we were boarding for her at the time (I also
have a story about Redman the horse we were boarding)
Well I was about 8 and 1/2 at the time and when I saw
her trailer pull up I was sure she was here to take
Redman back!! (little did I know my parents were buying
him for me behind my back........) I was in tears
for a minute! Then she lead out pretty Misty! She showed
us her freeze brand and said that made her a mustang
that was captured in the wild, not bred in captivity.
Well she's been a just awesome horse for the past 3
years, but I decided about a month ago to go to the
BLM (the mustang people) and ask for information about
Misty. I sent them the freeze brand and found out she
is not a blm mustang and is maybe not a mustnag at
all! But I did find out she is 28. She has gotten really
skinny because of dental problems and we
are trying to get her weight up and she is sort
of battling different hoof problems but like my dad
says, she's definitly a "Hardy Horse!" She is such
a sweet mare and I lover her! 
Hi
im Ella and this is my favorite pony in the world his
name is danny and he is a arab.Even though i had a big
inserdent witch the police were involved in.I was on
a 2 hour hack and i had to take all the canters since
one of the ladies had never riden before.it was the
the last one and i ahd taken it i thought but he didnt
stop i pulled back and half halted him i didnt scream
though!He galloped down a massive hill and i was so
worried. suddenly i thought he was going to stop but
no he carried on i could see the road so i jumped off
and danny got hit at least he is still alive i love
him so much.
Hi!
My name is Carolyn and this is about my 23 year old
Quarter Horse gelding RedMan! RedMan is probably the
most stubborn horse that exists on this plannet but
he is SO sweet and I love him a ton. Here's how I got
red baby, when I was 8 after my riding lesson I was
sitting there petting my horse I had had the lesson
on (REDMAN!!!!!!!!!!!:) And I heard my teacher talking
to my dad about boarding RedMan at our house because
the other horses were picking on him and he needed a
place where no one could pick on him and he could get
lots of love. My dad and I talked about it on the way
home and we stopped at my Grandmother's house on the
way and talked to her too. My dad said it was fine by
him BUT it had to be ok with my mom. We got home, talked
to her and she said....... YES!!!!!!!! I was so excited.
My dad and I spent weeks marking off and putting up
a good sized paddock fence for him. Finally the day
came and we got Redman!!! I was so happy. Redman was
18 then but he still has as much energy as a 5 year
old!!!!! He is sweet, pretty and I love him so much.
I have learned to canter, gallop, jump, and canter bareback
on him. He has brought me through all that and its so
funny because if we were looking for a horse we would
probably never have found them but instead since we
weren't, he came to us!!!! 
Hello!!!
Love the site it's awesome!!! Just thought I's send
a picture of me and my baby "Paint By Numbers"

And apparently "Impressive" was out of "Impressive
73", both extremely famous Quarter Horse's back
in the day lol!! But yeah....Rolo and I do Hunter Jumper's
because it's the best equine sport out there!! We are
currently showing in Junior's which is 3'6-3'9 and Rolo
ALWAY'S place's no matter what!! He will never get below
a 3rd!! I love my horse soooo much!!!! He's absolutely
AMAZING and I don't know what I would do without him!!
lol!! Literally speaking...I would have to say my horse
is one of my best friend's ever!! I've only had Rolo
for 10 month's and it's been the BEST 10 month's ever!!!!
But yeah..this is kind of a long note letter thing so
I'll end it as of now!! !!!
I
had dreamed about having my very own Paint horse since
i could remember...well 2 years ago at the age of 15
I got my dream horse! She's a Bay Tobiano Paint and
is very cute! Her name is Silly Miss Key Toe, and is
11 years old...12 in 4 months. She is due to have her
VERY first foal in 3 months, and hopefully will be a
colt!
~Howdy~
Hi,
my name is Becky, and I live in New Brunswick
Canada and I always wanted my very own baby
horse....So when my moms arab/saddlebred mare was due
to foal I prayed that it would be a little girl....Well
she was born on Augustt 25, 2004 at 8:45pm right
in front of my mother and me....I got to see my dream
come true....We called her "Meant To Be Red Robin" she
was very small and her dad is a Paint we call Apache.
Hello
My name is Kayla and when I was about 13 my mother bought
our first Quarter Horse filly she was one when we got
her and she hated to be cliped to when she turned 3
my mom bred her to One Good Cookie, so lady was due
for a 2003 foal. When that cold march came around I
started getting more excited because it would be the
first quarter horse foal born on our stable. The night
lady gave birth she had a bay colt, with a small white
star. That night "Boogie" was born, I stayed outside
with him even though it was a school night, by the time
boogie was born i was 15, then the next few nights at
feeding time for the horses i would go in the stall
with lady and boogie and would sing to him and he would
lay down and fall asleep next to me. Then the first
time we let boogie out after the snow was gone, he followed
me around and wouldnt leave my side, summer came quickly
and boogie was growing a little older, when I would
go out to the pasture he would nicker to me and come
running over, and I would sit on the ground next to
the stable and boogie would come over and lay on me,
and sometimes I would use him as my pillow, then came
the weaning part, when he was weaned he made friends
with the other horses, but everytime he seen me he would
look at me and whinny,then come running over. I decided
I would start to train boogie because we had such a
close bond together. The first night he came in the
barn by him self with out his mother he wouldnt eat
his grain, so I had to go in his stall and hold his
bucket and sing to him. or else he wouldnt eat. Then
the winter came pretty fast and one night I was in the
barn and it was very cold so I just decided i would
work with him so I got him out and taught him to jog
with me on the lead rope. He learned very fast. When
the next march came around boogie turned 1 and he was
such a quiet guy, but we decided to geld him so I could
show him anywhere since i am only 16. Then when i decided
that i wanted to show boogie, I trained him to follow
me around and he follows me around, and I taught him
how to lounge, and now he is only 1 1/2 and I have him
doing lounge line perfect and he likes saddles on him,
and I can sit on him already. everyone always picked
on boogie since he was little and said he was ugly,
and that he was very short and would never amount to
anything, he reminds me of seabiscuit, small horse big
heart.At boogies first show I took him to, he was a
little scared but he was a good boy he got right on
the trailer for the first time after he seen me walk
on it, he rode good to the show, and when we got there
he was really quiet but he would whinny alot if I left
him, and in our first class which was showmanship, we
took first place out of 7 or 8 people, and he was the
smallest horses there, but the best behaved! I was really
proud of him! And we love eachother I feel like hes
my own child, and when I'm sad or mad and go to boogie
He makes me feel good, he has a personality of like
my best friend, I feel i can tell him anything and he
understands what I say! I cant wait to start riding
him in the spring. We both trust eachother all the way!
This is basically the beginning story of a dream come true about a little 10 year old girl named Opal and a little filly named Coco. Opal's dream has now became a reality. Through the years, tears, and occasional scars she and Coco will grow up together riding in and out of adventures. A lifelong bond will be created and they will never far apart no matter how good or how bad the times. Using lessons about life learned along the trails they will make it through with God's grace. The help and advice they receive along the way will always be appreciated and over time, a commitment to help others will firmly set. To ride a horse is a dream that almost every child, and most adults inherit. To have a trusted lifelong companion is living the dream. To see someone's dream come to reality is truly wonderful. That’s what grandparents are for.
mine yet, we are still thinking of buying her. The big mare is her Mother, Cool Sahrah. I will be very sad if I do not get her, but she will always be in my heart. I think horses are very rewarding to care for,and only should be treated kindly. I love your website, and if i do get Dixie, I will probably by my stuff from you! Bye!
Hi, I'm Sarah from the UK, and this is a pic of my pony, Spirit. She is 14.3 hh and she can jump really well. I'm 13 and once we were jumping against up to 16 year olds, because we were in a teenage showjumping contest, and I couldn't believe it when we came 1st!!!! It was all thanks to Spirit, she's the best!

hey,
my name is Jessica and i live in Yellville Arkansas with my horse Flash.
I bought her when i was 14 as a green broke 2 year old , and am currently
training her as a barrel racer. about a week after I bought her i realized
that i was the only one she trusted enough to be around her.my sisters and
friends couldn't even touch her unless i was there.today she is still the
same way.when i turned 15 July 7th i got her shod and started riding her out
on the trails with other horses,she is doing really well and is the sweetest
horse i have ever met!
in the picture the colt is my moms baby mule that she bought about a week
ago his name is Blue Dude
Hello! 
My name is Courtney Tyra and I own a beautiful mare and a 7 week old colt. They are identical black except for Prince (for short) has a smaller white star and 4 white stockings. Midnight has had 7 foal but two of them died after birth because the sac was to thick and no one was there to help the foals. Prince was the last foal Midnight is going to have, but Prince is going to continue the family! I have shown Midnight many times and she has won lots of ribbons and some blue ones to. I am planning to show Prince in many shows and hopefully he will win more blue ribbons than 4th or 5th or any place after that. Prince and Midnight are very alike in many ways. For intents they both love alfalfa hay. The funniest thing Prince has done is rear up and start bucking. The worst thing that has happened to Prince is that he found out the meaning of barbwire fence. The funniest thing that has happened to Midnight is that she ate my hot dog at a horse show and spit the bun out. . The worst thing that happened to her is when she was very close to her due date with Prince is that someone put her with Besty (one of my uncle's mares) started to kick Midnight in the stomach! I wouldn’t trade or sell Midnight or Prince for anything in the world!
Hi
Howdy!
Hay! 
Hey
there!!! 
Hey!!
This is my horse Boy. His registered name is Cindy's
Sterling Boy( boy for short) He is a Missouri Fox Trotter.
I got him when he was 15. We also have his mom who
was 20 when we got her. Boy will be 21 this year. I
love to go down the road and trail ride with him. We
also love to jump!!! He is a nice horse, but often
has mood swings with other people. I have never showed
him, but I hope to do so soon. He used to be very mean,
but I have been working with him, and now I can do
a whole bunch of stuff with him.......I can even gallop
bareback! He hates having to leave his mom, but he
hates my pony oakie!! I love him sooo much! I don’t
know what I would have done without him. 
February
2000, I went to a horse auction in the lower part of
Missourri, it was a cold, wet and icy day . Looking
for a shetlandpony! I saw a beautyful Missourri Foxtrotter
mare with her very ugly, sorrel, sick 5 month old colt.
he looked so sorry, that I called him THE SORRY SORREL,
he was not weaned and in the worst place on earth, poor
thing. The mare got sold and the little guy was put
up for sale again, nobody wanted him and I felt soooo
sorry for him, so I bought him for almost nothing. I
called my husband to put up a fence and wait for our
arrival. The little guy left his mom and followed me
without a problem into the two-horse trailer. He was
a sweet guy I thaught,wrong, he was very ill, to ill
to fight. We made it home, and I thaught if he survives
we always can find him a home ! As a yearling and two
year old he won the Highpoint Awards in halter against
" The Local Cream", they bad mouthed my sweet little
Sorrel, I cried and loved my " SORRY SORREL" even more.
In September , just before Rocky turned three years
old,without ever been to a big show I TOOK MY PRETTY
DUCKLING to" The Missourri FOXTROTTER WORLD Show 2002.
" My horse Racheals Rocket became Reserve World Champion
Modelhorse, 3 weeks before he turned 3 years old!!!!!
In 2003 I showed him once under saddle , bred a few
mares and turned him out for the season. Get ready folks
he will be back in the showring to continue making HEADLINES

Belle. Belle is 4 years old and she is a bay thoroughbred.
She used to be a racehorse. When she raced, her name
was She's Cosmic. I plan to use that name as her show
name this summer. My instructor bought Belle as a retired
racehorse from the Canter Program. About 6th months
later, We bought Belle from her. I love Belle so much,
and even though I have had her for a short period of
time, I can't remember what it was like without her.
Belle pretty much loves any kind of treat, sometimes
a little too much! She is now being trained to jump,
which she's doing really well in and I can't wait to
get her in the show ring! She seems like such a part
of me now, and I know we will grow to work even better
as a team in the years to come.
~Hay~
is 14 years old. She loves apples. HATES carrots. We
don't know why though. Her brother Cowboy loves them!!!
Cowboy is my sisters horse. We have been riding for
10 years. The horse I had before Ginger was Angel. She
was beautiful. She was a mustang. Was 14 to. I rather
not say what happened but I guess I will. We had to...put
her down. She got really sick and there was nothing
we could do. Ginger is in great shape. I will never
sell her.
