Equestrian Journey: Galaxy's Personality

Galaxy's Personality

I know it's hard to show a horse's personality in pictures, but I'm sure gonna give it a try because Galaxy has a LOT of personality. She's turning out to have the perfect temperament to make a great trail horse and friend. So here we go . . .

Below she is exploring the truck (a very curious girl) and is making sure to get as much hay all over the seat as possible!

Checking out our work surface (trailer). She's a very nosy horse. She likes to be in the middle of everything that's going on. :)

Below she even gives the youngest chicks a sniff! It's like she couldn't figure out what the miniature version was. :D She's sooooo careful where she puts her feet. As she made her way through our constructions site she never stepped on the circular saw, wood pieces, tin, wire, none of it. She even tried to climb the plywood we had leaning against a tree!! Silly girl.

And of course as soon as she spotted me she had to come see what I was doing.

I don't mind though because I got some really good pictures!!! Click to enlarge any images.

Below she's trying to reach me, but Chrome is in the way. I don't think she's happy about that. :D

Exploring the new coop.

The End

Galaxy is quite the diva for sure. I love her putting extra hay in the car to make your ride more comfy.

Slobbers,

Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things.
