MY BABY PRIZE!




Well i must say, that I am a proud mom!! Prize is my baby. she was born on my ranch. her mom is Missy. I first got Papa Jack and then we bought a companion for Jack, Missy for my (ex) husband. We knew that Missy was pregnant and also a good riding horse. She is indeed. So Prize was born 5 years ago to Missy. Now Prize was a VERY spoiled girl. Both by me and her herd. She gets away with alot. She gets to eat with just about any horse and they (for the most part) dont have a problem with it! she is about 15 hands, a very easy keeper like both of moms! she is a registered quarter horse. She is black in color with a little bit of white on her back legs. She is cute, she is lovable. She loves to lick and also give back massages to humans and horses alike. Well when she was 3, she was just so immature and not ready for training to ride. But we did work with her on the ground and while she did well, she wasnt into it. So we waited to train her. Last year, other horses had to be trained first to get them adopted out. This year was her turn after Mya. Rebecca has been working with her and boy she is a little poop at times! But a gorgeous poop she is! She has never had to be afraid of anything. Her herd takes care of her. She is lazy most times. So training has been going well. She has had a saddle and pad on her but not tightened, but last night we just did it. She had no problem with any of it. Then Rebecca put some of her weight in the stirrup. Stood up. Prize just stood there. Then Rebecca went ahead and sat in the saddle. That was going to be our first lesson. I got so excited and went in to grab Rebecca's cell phone to take a picture. She stands there all nice! I take the phone and then back up to take her picture. Of course Prize, being Prize, comes towards me thinking i have a treat for her! Not even caring that Rebecca is still on her! So i take the photo's and then i start to walk around the round pen. She follows her mom, like a good horse! She does love her mom! Especially if there are either treats or rubs to be had! She did so well! So we pushed the envelope with her and she did well. A couple of times around and she was so good! Rebecca and i are both welling up with pride, joy and smiles! I sure love my Prize! here are her pictures! Isnt she just so beautiful??
I hope she is with me forever! Thank you Rebecca!
