The Horses in My Life

Niall

Niall is a 14 hand mustang from the Antelope Valley HMA in Nevada. She was born in 2017 and captured in 2019. She was picked up by a trainer for the Georgia TIP Challenge in June of 2021. I found her on Facebook and for the grand total of $25 dollars to the Bureau of Land Management (and a modest fee to her trainer) I brought her home at the end of October 2021. My goal is to ride dressage and have lots of adventures with her.

Katai

Katai was a 13.2 hand Haflinger cross pony that I brought home October 1, 2012. I traded tack for her so she was pretty much free which made sense because she was basically feral. I trained her from the beginning and brought her to the point where we were working on 2nd/3rd level dressage. Based on her seeming to be most comfortable with a quiet life and me wanting to go on adventures I eventually rehired her with a friend in September of 2021. You can find more about our journey in the archives of this blog.

  2. Good morning,

    I was reading on your blog this morning and your horse is lovely! We think your horse would make a great model to pose for a photo in our tack and possibly an owner tack review. (Harness and Baroque Bridle not eligible)
