Thought I'd share some photos of my old horses.

First off is Blue. He was my first pony. He was... Too pretty. Thus got away with a lot! LOL.
I had him from when I was 14 to when I was about 21... Sold him to a lovely family 9 years ago, and he's still with them :) Most of the pics I have of him are hard copies, so not many on my computer to show you!




Then came along Storm who was the love of my life! I literally can not tell you how much I loved this horse. I had her for 9 years from when I was 19 to 28. She was honestly the best thing that ever happened in my life until I had to make the heartbreaking decision to have her put down due to colic. ;(





Then there was Xavier who I had whilst I had Storm for a couple of years. He was 6 when I got him.. a real baby! But the biggest, most gentle teddy bear of a horse ever. I even let my dad ride him for me once a week! I bought him on a bit of a whim, and sold him 2 years later to fund some travels. He's still in the same home... 5 years later!





AND then ... Sierra! After 6 months of being horseless after losing Storm, I found her. She had only been in the country for 2 weeks, and had barely been handled, let alone ridden. So she was my first 'blank canvas, completely from scratch' horse, and wow. She's got some talent! I'll have had her 2 years next month. :)
