My first baby horse

I just bought my first baby horse she is 5 months old and is a palomino quarter horse. I think I'm going to name her Zippity. It has always been a dream of mine to learn how to train a horse. Since I can remember I have always wanted a horse. My grandfather had horses and I would spend summers with him ridding. When we passed a horse my grandpa would ask me what color it was, and that's when I my education about horses began. I treasure those memories I have with my grandpa. He is still alive but he has Alzheimer's for about 10 yrs now. I wish that he could have been there with me when I went to go look that this cute little filly.

I got my first horse when I was 18 a neighbor had this cute little Arabian mare that he didn't want any more, so he offered her to me for free. I only had her a short time because I meet the guy of my dreams and married him. I sold my horse to help put my husband through pharmacy school, 8 years later after he graduated we bought our first home with horse property. I then got my next horse a 20 year old buckskin quarter horse. She used to belong to my uncle, so I have know this horse most of her life, and have spent many happy hours ridding her. I got her for free too. Her name is ginger, I still have her and am still making wonderful memories with her. She is getting old and I know sooner then later she will not be ride able. I was looking through some horse ads when I found this cute little filly for 200.00. I went at looked at her and fell in love.

I want to keep a journal about my first time working with a young horse. So as I work with her I will blog and take pictures of our time spent together both growing.
