About my horse

I have been telling you I would tell you more about my horse ‘the Pretty Boy Trouper’. He is a Red Roan Appaloosa they got for me from a place called ‘SafeHaven ’. It is a horse rescue operation. My Pretty Boy is a cutting horse and from the little I have seen he is a fine one. You put a rope on him and pull from the front that boy isn’t going anywhere. Now a lot of you might not have a clue what that means but when you see it happening right there in front of your eyes it’s a very funny thing. That boy can plant his back feet at the drop of a dime. Of course I too can stop and not move but for it’s just that I’m walking along and decide I have gone far enough so I stop walking. My Pretty Boy stops cold in his tracks. And he can spin around so fast you might think he has just one of his back feet on the ground. I told the house mouse to tell the human girl to take you some pictures of my horse and to also show you some of the pictures of what he looked like when he got here.

When he got here is when he started being called ‘Pretty Boy’. He was being called ‘Trouper’ because the people at Safe Haven said he was a trouper in the way he lived through what he had lived through. You see they got a call from a place that wanted them to come put the horse down for them because he was in pretty bad shape. They told the people they would come take a look. They got out there and the horse was in very poor shape indeed. His right front hoof had dang near been completely cut off. Nearly whole of it was gone from front to back and he was real real skinny. But they told the owners NO. No we will not put this horse down. We will take him and we will do what we can to make him better.

To Be Continued………..
