Saturday i took the two hour drive to go meet my new possible horse Melody. It was an easy ride, not a lot of traffic. My new GPS did it's job and got us there without any trouble, so that was good. When we got there the girl brought her out from the barn, it was really windy so she had the horses in. I seriously think, i knew it was meant to be as soon as i saw her. I rubbed my hands all over her, tugged on her mane and tail, walked behind her, lifted her hooves and she accepted this all, and even looked to be enjoying me petting her. She stood to be saddled, and accepted her bit. She was perfect with everything, and even though her buddy was in the barn calling for her she dident even try to go back to her, she listend to the girl and me.
Riding her was just as great, i dident ride long because of how windy and cold it was and i dident want to push her to much. She's very slow paced, but when i asked for a trot it dident take much juts a light tap with my foot. Very smooth, i liked it very much. She needs to work on her whoa a bit, but thats not an issue she stops after a few words and aslight pull on the reins.
She stood while i put my english saddle on, even though my girth was to big i just wanted to put it on her and see how she handled it. Of course she did great. she was very calm through the whole ordeal.
All she needs is some love and some more weight put on and she will be completly perfect.
So as of now i have a new horse on the way, probably by the end of the month because we are going to be doing payments on her then we will be bringing her to her knew home. I cannot wait till this summer, to really open her up and see the rest of her potential.
She may be 15 years old but she will be great for me, and i already love her.
So it seems things are starting to turn for the better!
