I've bought several horses recently and the most expensive one no one wants the ride, and the $800 one has turned out to be the best horse I've ever owned. It's all about what suits you.4RRanchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922623850041091213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-7536706375021773752011-06-12T12:17:53.122-04:002011-06-12T12:17:53.122-04:00Honestly, I used to think our horses were very muc...Honestly, I used to think our horses were very much alike, but Dixie has really impressively grown a brain and calmed down. I'm glad you're focused on finding a horse with a good mind!<br /><br />With that said, I hope you don't build up today's ride to be the make-or-break point. Maybe if the spotty horse doesn't work out you quit looking so intensively, but don't close yourself off to the possibility of another horse. Still - fingers crossed for you today!Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-30815047010396757002011-06-12T10:56:39.564-04:002011-06-12T10:56:39.564-04:00Awww good luck!

I am really surprised that anyone in the blog-o-sphere dislikes you, serious or otherwise! At the end of the day, you are writing about YOUR experiences and what YOU have accomplished, fought with, and what YOU are looking for in a new horse today. I have been there done that on sour grapes folks selling horses but seriously! You are clearly aware of your strengths AND weaknesses, and if something isn't your cup of tea whether its in a photo or under saddle, that is your right. I find it quite hard to dislike people in the endurance world, *haha!* Endurance makes me, a usually shy, reserved person, walk around ride camp cheerfully complimenting people on their horses and asking total strangers about their leg wrapping techniques. That is the beauty of endurance! I hope you have a good ride today. And I hope you aren't in the least disturbed by the "haters" out there--seems like you're doing just fine to me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344662726517478751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-28532396965050660732011-06-12T09:54:04.156-04:002011-06-12T09:54:04.156-04:00I think you are a wonderful inspiration "Gran...I think you are a wonderful inspiration "Granny," (btw- you don't LOOK like a Granny in your profile pic, nor do you ACT like one!! I love you!!!!). I'm really sorry to hear that anyone would act like they can judge you. One thing about horses - it's a VERY personal journey. No-one can tell another HOW to do it. You can share what's true for yourself, but there is so much deeply personal about it - often inexplainable - such as you reading that gelding's eye. That's one of the gifts of loving horses, in my opinion.<br />Thank you for blogging your journey! As I said- you inspire me!!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576090634674056178noreply@blogger.com
