My guy's been with me for about 7 years. Taco is a 13.2 Quarter horse; very sweet gelding. Was sick as a weanling; so was given to me knowing he wouldn't fit too many other riders at the stage he was at. He is Be Aech Enterprise (son) X Mr. Gunsmoke (granddaughter) bred. Reining royalty; but he's not conformed well enough to do anything but play around at it.

He's not specifically trained for anything; but he's got a good heart. Hopefully I can get Avalon riding; so she can do some club stuff; and right now; he is loaned to the local 4-H club for use for anyone who doesn't have a horse (their leader owns the barn where I board him; so she only gives him to the good kids who listen)

He's been lead horse for commercial trail rides; keeping 20 other horses in line. He's gone brush clearing with me -- I sit on his back and trim branches; I can clean garbage on his back (with one of those gripper things) and we've gone through the drive through at McD's. He's also excellent to put beginners on; 'cause he's not a tool.

Aww, I love how in every picture, he's looking back at the kid. It's like he's just keeping an eye on her to make sure there's no funny stuff going on! He's adorable, and sounds like he's worth his weight in gold!

YAY! Ponies!

Right here goes..

L'ananas.. Or La La, she's a 12 year old Shetland pony that I rescued from a very abusive home.. This is her this winter, I think she looks WAY cuter with all her winter fluff!



Gavotte Du Fau.. Aka: Totty.. She's a 15 year old Selle Francais Cat A.. This is her PRE foal, when she was more or less fit.. I used her mainly for showjumping (we went to the Championnat de France 4 times), although she has done some endurance and done very well. Yeah, she is tied to a quad! LOL!



Gavottes foal.. Vivaldi Mondial, she's 3 weeks old TODAY! Bless her cottons.



And last but by no means least..

St Augustine of Ireland.. Aka: Cavan. 15 year old Papered traditional Irish Draught. We competed mainly in working hunter trials, and show hunter trials.. Unfortunatley his breed is not recognised in France and so therefore we are unable to compete over here.. I've had him for 11 years, he's my baby and a real pet horse! LOL!



Size perspective..



And that's it for the moment, although I have been offered another mare, so who knows!

Hee hee hee.. Are you sure you don't want him? Free to good home!!

"Free to good home, HUGE horse.. Must lick EVERYTHING to see if it tastes good.. Has many doglike qualities.. Will sweep for mints"

I MUST video that one day, Cavan using his broom.

WOW thats crazy! In france you have to have a recognized breed to show? Here if it can jump it can show and go on to the olympics if its got the talent.

Some of the worlds best show jumpers have been crossbreds. (Milton anyone?)

Adorable pony!

There are some very nice horses on this forum!

Well currently there are 4 horses on our property:

Bunny - 10 year old paint mare. She is my main riding partner



Sami - 14 year old Appy mare. I am in the middle of re-homnig her as we unfortunately do not have room for her.



Luna - yearling out of Sami. One day she is going to look just like her mama!



And our newest addition: Rino. 7 year old Qh/Clyde cross.



And Zoom, I have not forgotten about those pics with Virgo and the horses! I'll take a few one of these days!

It's about d*mn time we saw your horses! And I am still waiting on those photos...

I miss riding so much right now that it's invading my dreams.

Those are all such gorgeous horses. I am SO jealous. I miss horses so much. I sold my QH in 2000 and my miniature horses in 2001.
