Ranch Animals (Part 2)

I'm so sorry everyone! I didn't post anything on Saturday. We were so busy that day, and I didn't have time to post anything. On Monday Dad chopped the Internet cord with the Pay-loader. (on accident.) And the RTC guys didn't make it here 'till yesterday.

Another important animal on our ranch are the HORSES. Quarter Horses are my favorite breed. And I bet you already know this but they're my favorite animal. Between English an Western I'd for sure chose Western riding. Ah, and give me a cow to to chase. 


This is Wrangler in the picture below. I got him when I was five and he was just weaned. He's a registered quarter horse blue roan gelding. And his nickname is "Blue." But then, after a couple years dad decided it wasn't working out. He knew that for me training is the funnest part, and I was too little. (Six or seven). He used to be palomino as a colt, but he roaned out and turned  into a huge, fast cow horse that bucks. When I turned nine dad got me a chestnut filly. But when Wrangler is broke I can ride him any time I want. But we call him 'dad's horse'. 

Alex is a bay gelding. He's Lindy's horse, but she doesn't really ride him. She likes horses but other hobbies suit her just fine. Alex is a fast walker. REALLY fast walker. I bet he could win a World Cometition for the fastest walker. I've rode him a couple times. And, his lope is NOT smooth. It's just like riding the little blue rocking horse when I was one year old.

My thirt-teen year old cousin comes and rides with Riss and me. And she rides Alex. He's Greenbroke.











Cocoa is Larissa's chestnut quarter horse mare. And she loves chasing cows. At about fifteen hands high, she's about average height for a horse.






Journey is also Larissa's horse. She's the same age as my two year old filly. Rissa is planning on training her and then selling her. Notice the white mane down by her back. Very unusual.







Chester is Landon's horse. Boy, he has the smoothest, slowest trot ever. Landon will go and sit on him in the corral anytime he wants.  Chessy is his nickname.Awww, he's sooo cute with those shiny black eyes. :)



Me petting him.:) :)







Chorus: Cory is my two year old filly and my best friend. Dad and I are training her to be the best cutting horse in the WORLD.

She and Rissa's horse are full sisters. Their dam's (the mother of a horse or cow) name is Just A Major Sweetie and their sire's (the Father of a horse or cow) name is Dooley. Both the dam and the sire are Quarter Horses. I got to sit on Dooley once. :D We have a picture.


Below is me two years ago one of the first days I had her.




 Me working her in the round pen.





WOW. Talk about a beautiful horse!













 Rusty is my trusty steed when we go for rides. He's a sweetie. To people.
He is the highest in pecking order of all our horses. The brown mare on the left of him in the picture is his favorite mare. He will go crazy without that old girl. She's his favorite mare.





Nutbrown is our good old mare that we normally put little, little kids on and we can trust her to take care of them. We call her 'Lawson's horse'. She's part Welsh Pony, so she is a little bit smaller than our other horses.



Brego and Nala are from the same people we get our other horses from, but our friends bought them. after a couple years they didn't want them anymore, so they gave the horses to us. Now we found owners for them, but they stay here 'cause their real owners don't live in the country.








 Peaches is my champion barrel racing American Miniature Pony. I trained her myself. Oh, isn't she just adorable? But I'm getting too big for her, and she's sold. She'll be going to her new home later this year.




Ginger is the sweet, fat, old Miniature that hates to go faster than a trot. She's Lawson's main mount and he's been trying to get her to loose weight.

When  I was two and three, I would gallop around the round pen in the barn without any reins or anything to control her with. And someone would help me set up jumps. And when I was five to when I was eight I'd ride her all around our pastures.



Me at age three:













Lawson riding her at age six:




Pure love.:)

















Hope you liked it!
