New Chapter, New Horse
Hello all, I haven't posted here in some odd years. Been busy the last several years. I've been with my fiance for the last 3 and a half years, with Facebook and all the social media, I guess I never bothered to post on here. I'm now 22 years old and living in a little house in Hillyard. I have four dogs and a lot of cats. My dog is my service dog. She is mostly Shepherd but we think she may have some collie in her due to the shape of her face. She's a good dog and has helped me with my disability in ways that could never be helped. I sold Fox this last spring due to his lameness issues that where even light riding he was soar. I thought it was the end of my horse riding deal. But I was suffering serious horse withdrawals and couldn't live without a horse. With me getting approved for disability and taking on a new part time job, I started horse searching again. I wanted to try a new breed. After growing up with Quarter Horses and stock horses in general over the years, I wanted to try a Thoroughbred. Thoroughbreds are few and far between in my area due to the popularity and high demand for stock horses. After some persistence and perseverance, I came across this Thoroughbred up in Rathdrum, Idaho. He was a 12-year-old bay 17 hand off the track Thoroughbred. He didn't have any lameness issues whatsoever, he was the most chill Thoroughbred I've ever met(not your typical TB), and his age since he was still relatively young is what sold me on him. His registered name is Pete's Boy. I call him Artax after the horse from the movie, The Neverending Story. It was love at first sight. Me and Artax clicked immediately. Here are some pictures of me and my recent events with Artax. I'll try to keep this blog up to date with my adventures of my horse and other critters.
