Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! A couple of things I am thankful for (in relation to this blog - to see others see this post) are that I finally have a Friesian Sport Horse of my own, that both of my horses are healthy, that my family is healthy and I get to go see them and also that at night when I feed Chrome and it gets dark I walk out my door and ask, "Colt, are you done?" If he's not done he ignores me, if he is he gives me this adorable, deep nicker and I got out, untie him and take him back to Galaxy. It warms my heart. Here are a few pictures of Chrome and Galaxy being thankful for each other and for back scratchies.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! This is one of my favorite holidays because I love spending time with my family and eating good food. :D

Horses scratching each other is the best thing to see and appreciate. They are so generous in their scratch response. Not so much with the food sharing though...

Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
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. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
