Hi everyone! I am new to this site but i'm really excited i joined. I have loved horses ever since I can remember. I am a novice rider but I am taking lessons at the stable where i board two horses. I was only planning on having one horse until i was a better rider, but my mom and i could not pass up this old standardbred gelding. The place where we got him from did not take the best care of him, so when we found out he was for sale we had to rescue him.
I like to ride western pleasure and go trail riding on the trails at the stable.
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.

Hi Everyone! I am new to this site and wanted to find a cool group to hang out in and meet some new people! I have been riding for 12 years and have three beautiful horses, Boomer, Lady Bug and Tucker Doodle. Boomer is my QH gelding, Lady Bug is my QH mare being leased and bred for a 2010 foal and Tucker Doodle is my Welsh/QH X gelding.
Hopefully I will get to meet some cool people on this site!
Thanks Bunches,
Erin
Hi,
I'm also new to the site. I live in NC, I'm a nurse and have loved horses all my life. I'm a novice rider but have just started riding lessons. I'm going on my first private trail ride at Latta Plantation which means I can go as fast or slow as I want. I've done walking trail rides most of my life, loved being with the horses but bored with just walking. Anyone from around here Charlotte/ Lake Norman area intersted in riding together? I don't have my own horse but go to Latta Plantation to ride.
