I have borrowed horses all my life. I went to a horse college, I worked for an Olympic show jumper, I've ridden endurance races, but I've never owned a horse.
For the sum of $1.00 (yes, that is $1), I am now the owner of a 3 yr old standardbred pacing mare.
I often walk through the local harness racing barn on a Sunday morning with my kids. This past Sunday we ran into one of the regulars that is always there working his horses and he asked me if I wanted a free horse. I said my DH would never allow it. (which i was correct)
So....then I thought about it for a day. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I went home and TOLD DH I was taking the horse! LOL! (he's a bit miffed but smart enough not to cross me about this!)
I sure have my work cut out for me to retrain her as a riding horse but she is so gentle and easy going that I don't think it will be more than I'm capable of.
Without further ado.......here is my new girl Mojo!! (it was starting to get dark so pics are not the best)
