Wish I could figure to reduce file size so I could send a photo of our old Arab. A couple of years my daughter Abby, thirty-something, elementary teacher, wife, mother of three decided she needed "something" in her life and decided on riding. After riding a couple of other horses, she bought Smoke, a then fifteen year old Arab gelding with a bit of a "rep". It is a match made in heaven. Smoke had a two lay off because of back-to-back pasture injuries. If a horse could look fulfilled, it was Smoke the first endurance ride they went to after his return to competition. He has never done one goofy thing for Abby. He used to be hard to catch, not now. He used to buck, not now. Their relationship is honestly a beautiful thing. Nancy
