Journey

From the beginning there has always been something special about Journey.  I have difficulty defining exactly what that something is.


  • She is not the easiest horse to communicate with.
  • She is bossy and dominate in the mare heirarchy.
  • She sometimes decides she is doing the driving.
  • She is fussy about what she will eat making her a hard keeper.
Seems like she should just move on down the pike.

I guess if you put it in a nutshell I like her good sense about her general environment.
Her ability to learn that a deer or a duck startles but does not eat you for lunch. She has some toughness to her too. Just when you think she is about done, she digs in like a little bull dog after a bone. I like that in her. She has TRY.

Journey will likely never be a first place  any kind of horse, but that is okay by me.

  1. What is it about these sassy, little dominant mares that makes us love them? Those who have never fallen in love with one, don't get it - and those that have, would never have any other kind. I love how you and Journey go along.
