said my boy Drummer to his young rider.
Together they chase the wind and skirt the barrel.
Flying home to win the race.
She has been riding him for two months.
Her first lessons on a horse. She calls him George. Her new best friend.
He has many new best friends. They trust his strong back and massive feet.
His wise heart and well trained manner.
He still leans in with my arms around his neck.
Always a carrot. He knows I bring the carrots.
I plan to get back on him in November. At Horses Healing Spirits. I can ride him there. It would break their hearts if I brought him back home, so it looks like he is there to stay. Maybe when he gets old, or injured I will bring him back home. Such a good boy.
Sweet photo of Drummer and rider!!
What hours (s) do you have at ranch?
I hope to get out there more. Maybe once or twice a month. They take care of him full time. Ride him and use him for teaching and equine therapy. I pay his vet and farrier bills.
