haha love this page!!! if anyone finds a cowboy that loves horses holla bc there aint none!! hahaha

theres nothing better in the world than going on a hack with my horse :P last week i was really upset because i had gotten into a fight with my guy friend but after i rode it didnt even seem like a big deal anymore :P Caruso is always there so me and i love him like crazy lol

My bf just dumped me like 5 days ago. December 31st would have been a year. My horse is def helping me through it!! But im thinking positive i can now focus on my dream of becoming a riding instructor and maybe work and ride wayy more than i have been doing since my bf used to take alot of my time away!

I called the herd for their morning meal.
He didn't come and the fear in my heart was immediately real.

He was always there, the head of the herd.
The other horses didn't come for the grain that was offered.
Those equines had a look in their eyes that something was wrong.
I knew in a moment that my pride and joy might be gone.

My heart broke that day.
As I saw Zip in the spot where he lay.

Zippos High Caliber was still beautiful, shiny, and warm.
I'd spent the night before washing and trimming in the barn.
He was silky and clean and ready to show.
All I could do was hug and hold him crying out “no!”

August 1st is a day I will never forget.
Blast the drought, the dust and the humidity that let
my best buddy fall to asthma, that dreadful disease.
I knew in my heart that I couldn't ask “God, please!”

He was gone in his prime and loved by all.
No more trophies or championships or figuring his way out of a stall.
Zip gave his heart in whatever he did.
Be it reining, halter, trail, games, or teaching a kid.

He had almost human-like qualities like no other.
We sadly buried him right beside his dear mother.
Two beloved horses laying side by side.
Thank you to all who rode them, loved them, and cried.

The healing process has barely begun.
I'll never forget the reining patterns that he run.
His speed and his quickness, the collection, the spins.
It was his pride, his heart, his versatility that helped him win.

Now as I stare at his retired bridle and special bit,
those horseshoes, the blankets each with a championship year on it,
I find my heart heavy and sometimes so sad.
I do have Zip's black sister and know that I should be glad.

There forever will be a fondness in my heart
and know that our souls will never be far apart.
I'll look up to heaven and listen for hoofbeats so fast
and know Zip and Blackie are galloping through the grass.

Rest in peace my beautiful red bay.
A piece of my heart went with you that day.

I was dating this guy... and he told me "It's be or the horse..." well he got "yeah...its the horse..BYE!"

And now im dating this great guy who loves horses too, and fully understands what i have to do, and that we can still have a great relationship!

Well I also love the title of this group. I'm in my 30's and still single and I have had my fair share of boys (men who acted like boys). That's why I love my 2 equine boys. My 3 year old and my 5 month old Missouri Fox Trotter stud colt who is very much a BOY...LOL

My parents think I am to young for boys. But not for horse. Horses 4 ever. Boys whenever. Lol.

I LOVE the name of this group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way I convinced my parents to let my ride was I Said, " Pick one, I can be obsessed with Boys, or with Horses you pick!" I guess you know wich they picked!:)

haha my horses have to aprove of any boy i bring home otherwise its out the window ;)

have a website to have you to pass on to other people. I do have to warn you that the pictures are very graphic and probably will make you cry. But you should pass this on because it will raise awareness for these poor animals. The website is: freewebs.com/tessasordeal
