Equestrian Journey: Ride 95

Ride 95 - Christmas Ride

About twenty minutes of the ride was spent standing around (circling when he didn't want to stand still) at the neighbor's house talking. The rest of the time he was balky and spooky.... annoying, but I don't care because we have pictures of how cute he is!! Yes I dressed him up again hehe. Most of the people that drove by stared at me like I was crazy, but some waved and had big smiles. The kids loved it. The guy who talked to us on our last road ride stopped to say Merry Christmas and to tell me that I did a good job with him. Another lady who was out running said he's very pretty. Neighbor girl said she loved the reins. So I don't even care that he was a turd, because I had fun anyway. :D Oh I almost forgot, on our way home he was still weaving and being balky, so I let go of the reins to see where he would go. He walked across the ditch into the treeline and stopped to poop. LOL! I guess he wants to keep our roads clean. :D

It took forever to dress him up because he kept trying to eat the decorations.....

So I changed it so it only went halfway up the reins hehe.

I don't know why these ended up looking yellow... weird!

Close up of his braids/ribbons and his fancy reins. :)

I love this guy!!!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!

merry christmas! he looks great all dolled up - and the bow in his tail is a nice touch. it's kinda crazy - but he's starting to look like such an adult, mature horse in these pics! (which i guess might be some cold comfort given his annoying mental state during the ride lol)... anyways glad you had fun :)

Name: Led Zeppelin
Nicknames: Zep
Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

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.
