Okay, so it's bad enough that my horse ego is already inflated...but when new boarders come out and go "Oh my gosh! You have a beautiful filly" "Lovely mover" "She has suuuch a creamy color"...it's BAD! Very BAD! Because that ego goes from high levels to extreme levels.
lol, I am just kidding. But seriously, it's so nice to hear people say that about my horse. Especially since she was a rescue from an auction you know? It PROVES the point that good horses DO go to slaughter. I mean, I am sure that everyone already knew that...even if they don't admit it, it's nevertheless true.
Anyways, this blog will most likely be about my journey with Mercedes. So be prepared! Here are some quick facts:
Registered name: Dolly Dun Twisted It
Barn name: Mercedes
Breed: Breeding stock paint
Her sire was a registered paint, her mother a dun.
Age: 20 months
Disciplines: She will mainly just be used as a trail horse :D *Fingers crossed*
Background: She was taken from her mother at an early age before she was even weaned and sent off to auction where she was repeatedly hit in the head with her lead rope. She had a gash above her eye that needed to be drained and stitched up. When she was bought they put her on a milk replacement and other than that, left alone to heal :) She was extrememly head shy but soon grew out of that. I received her for Christmas when she was 6 months old and it's been a rollar coaster ride from there!
We'll see what the future holds on our adventure.
