getting to know me

hey everyone, i thought you should get to know me!

my interest with horses started a long time ago. throughout my years of riding i have mostly only ridin hunter, english, but just this past year i thought "hey, western looks fun!" so i started western with my friends horse and LOVED IT! through my experience western people= searchin for Christ, and english people= all they want/have is MONEY! not the thing to be going after in this world. now i am not saying that all western people are like that, and i am not saying that all english people are like that. but from my experience, thats how it is.

i kinda found Christ through the first Quarter Horse i rode. we fell in love instantly. he was sold away, every night for one year i prayed to God "please let him come home, even if home is not with me, but where he is, isnt home." one year later He brought my horse home, and i was happy to see that his home was with me. in the meantime i had adopted a Thoroughbred mare. she was never my Quarter Horse. it wasnt until recently that my mare and i have become the best of friends again. i was always trying to make her like my Quarter Horse.

NOTE to horse people out there: never measure one horse to another, they just get mad at you!

i had to put my Quarter Horse down last September, hardest thing i ever had to do. i am just thankful that we can help our animals like that and not have to see them suffer, unlike out human loves when they are sick.
I think that putting my horse down is when I REALLY started to go after Christ. it is so neat to see how He works in our lives.
my mare and I have been getting on great now! I’ve taken a softer tone with her now, what a difference she has been since I haven’t been trying to make her into my Quarter Horse. I thank God every day for the second chance I am having with her. her and I have been going on spiritual trail rides together, and I have been riding her bare back, which let me tell you is pretty spiritual. being one on one with the beautiful animal He created and me, the child that He fearfully and wonderfully made.
I hope that you guys can join me, I will be posting stuff like how my horse was, and what changes I’ve seen in her, as well as my walk with Jesus and what I feel Him putting on me throughout my days here on earth.
