How the horse feels..

You can hear it when you listen......

Polaris is a wonderful horse. He's young and full of personality. He needs a devoted person with time. Time for just him, he's going to do wonderful things, but he needs an adventure and to enjoy life being challenged. He's going to become someone's best friend.

While on the other side....

Lil Star is about 5, had a rough start in life. I first saw her a couple years before on an auction site. I was too late she had been bought. So a year ago when I saw her picture on the rescue site. Oh ya, I was there. Yep, it was her! She came home with me. 

Scared, mean, biting, kicking, wouldn't let anyone get close to her. But very curious about my grandkids..

She's come along way and has wanted to come along. 
Very willing and wanting to learn. She has bathed, allowed the farrier to do her feet. She leads, wears her blankets... We're onto lunge - back - stand - and she even wears her bridle well. Saddle coming soon.

Of course lets' not forget...

Star Bright, is a family horse. She was born on a family farm and raised with children around her all the time. A very soft spoken man, and no abuse or mistreatment her entire life. I'm her second owner.

She loves to ride. She loves to be petted and brushed by the grandkids. They can sit on her back while she eats. She'll be 24 yrs in May. She's been around for a while and been there, done that. We've rode at the ocean, we've rode the mountain trails. She can winter 6 months and saddle up like she rode yesterday. 

Now we're exploring the trails next door to our New barn. As soon as she seen the trail head, the trot was on and we were off!  Loves - loves to ride! Smiles and greets people as she goes! Dogs, bikes, people, bright orange things laying on the trail.... 

Nothing bothers her. {except little creeks with 4 inches of water} lol.

Listen to your horses, their feelings can be heard.

 We lost the photographer on our last ride. Not sure what happened to him? He was in front of us and stationary as we approached...

We even stopped for a picture.

This was the last shot...

Before we lost him.

Remember ~

Life is the kind of adventure you make it~

Quit or Give Up?

 

This has been a tough struggle for me .... 

Polaris

He is going to be an awesome horse and probably an amazing jumper!  But, I don't think he's ever going to be happy just casually toting kids around on a few trails. He's young and full of energy, not a calm mellow kind of dude. He has so much potential. 

Is this fair to him?

Is this fair to the kids?

What is best for everyone?

Not all horses are kids horses and not every horse and rider are a perfect match. Sometimes, it's better to quit trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and move on.

Polaris will be looking for a new home, an individual people of his own. Someone that wants a dynamic looking horse, with the ability to jump and the sweetest personality ever!~!

It hasn't been an easy decision, but after much prayer, it's the best decision.

Blessed by God
