My Lifelong Dream....almost complete!

My dream since I was 8 yrs old was to breed horses. Well, I now have my little herd of Foundation Appaloosas--my stallion Joe, and 3 mares: 11 yr old Spot, 2 yr old Bambi, and 1 yr old Gracie (Spot's daughter). The rest of my new dream will come true once I have my surgery and can ride more comfortably and confidently again--then Joe and I are going to hit the show trail, the distance trail, endurance, all those fun things to do from the back of a horse! You can see my critters at http://scratchbottom.com, and speaking of horses for sale, Spot and Joe's baby that is due in February 2005 will be for sale at weaning! Guaranteed color, conformation, ability, and a disposition to die for....both parents are genuine sweeties (most people don't believe Joe is a stallion when they first meet him, he's such a pocket pony)! I encourage everyone out there who loves these wonderful creatures to find a horse and just love on it, if you're not confident in riding. Or learn to drive--no one is too heavy to handle lines!

Hi Lorri! Your critters are drop dead gorgeous! How wonderful that you are fulfilling your dreams. What fun you will have once the weight starts coming off and you are able to ride like you know you can. There is nothing like the love of a horse, and few things in life that loving on a horse can't make better. I know that during my worse times, just getting up in the stall with my mare and breathing in that wonderful horsie scent makes me feel much better, and somehow all is right with the world. Best of luck with your surgery, Deb
