At the tender age of 41 I purchased my first Horse, JJ. I rode him around the ring and thought have nice his gates where for a green 3 year old. He was a bit short for me also (looking back that's how I felt..he is the biggest hearted horse I have ever Known). Not sure if he was "the one" I continued to search and could not find one that came close to JJ's temperment. Mean while he was sent to Ca to race (he is an Arabian) and did abismally, winning only $340.00. He was sent back to the farm where I then continued to ride him. He was green, could spook 180 degrees and leave me in the dust (then I was grateful for his size...easier to mount AND dismount), and run like the wind..though he never took off on me once (well maybie once, but he came back to me almost imediatley). It took about a month to convince my poor husband Larry, that this was the horse I wanted. And then, I found out that purchasing a horse is the least expence.. (1)will be continued....

Awww, he's a cutie! Pshh, for someone my age though, that money would be great to win! He seems like he's a sweetie.
