Czar taught me everything I even needed to know about handling highstrung horses, as well as what a bond between a horse and rider can do.
After a llama companion, and a couple boarders,the 2nd horse came along. A 4 month old Tb filly rescued from the auction. Rebound was with us for only just over year . After an unfortunate accident in her stall, where she shattered her pelvis and femur, she had to be put down. I guess this is where Hayburner Haven began..........
The next local auction found me coming home with 5 horses; 4 resales and Durango, my palomino paint, who like Czar is here forever. A friend started giving lessons and we had one or 2 rescues coming through at a time until it was time to upgrade.
Thanks to a wonderfully supportive family, we moved to our new farm on July 30th, 2005, one month after graduation. At the new farm, the construction began, new stalls, paddocks, ring, shelters, fencing....the works.
Now a year and a half later, we house 33 horses: 12 boarders, my 5 horses and 16 rescues and have placed over 70 horses.
So here's hoping for continued construction of the barn, more rescue placements and all in all another wonderful year at the farm in 2007!
In my opinion...horses love doing repetative circles as much as we do.... Have some fun with your horse, go on an adventure , kick back and have a relaxing hack, go somewhere new. As long as you trust your horse and they trust you, the possibilities are endless. Every horse has something to teach you, you just have to let them do it.
I have been in many situations, I would have never dreamed of with my horses and with a good horse, you can get through them all. Riding down freeways and thru drivethrus, stuck on cliffs, bridges over water falls, grey cup parade in Vancouver, the list is endless...so go saddle up and see where you can go. May you be surrounded by great horses and good friends on all of you adventures!
