I just thought of something funny that someone said this weekend. I rode with my friend and her dad, who I have ridden with for years and years. We were talking about Tivar being a "finished" horse like my Jaspar, and how nice it is when a horse is like that, reliable, can take them anywhere etc. and he said yes, it was such a loss that his horse died of snakebite because she was a horse like Jaspar, that we rode, together many times, when jaspar was a heathen and his Sophie was a heathen, and between us both we broke many bones. But nicole (autistic) pipes up and says "you know on the highway when someone dies they put up a little white cross. they oughta put up little white crosses on riding trails where people have fallen off their horses!" and her dad says "well if they did that where me and janice have ridden Nicole it would look like arlington cemetery. No one could have room to ride their horses on the trails for all the little white crosses." hahahahha that was a good one. bless his heart. and now he is riding a complete maniac heathen arabian mare. I had to spend the whole ride making sure teev did not get too close cause she would fire off a kick at him. sigh. it will take at least a year, most likely two, of constant riding and work for her to become a "finished" horse.
