About Me
I'm Marissa Dawn Hale. I was given my first horse when I was 3. Ever since I was 3 I wanted to jump. It was my passion and when my pony died I encouraged myself not to quit riding but to move on and further my passion. I was given a horse for a reason and I couldn't waste all of those years on nothing. Now I am jumping and learning things I have always dreamed of.
My baby is named Blue. I bought him 4/1/10. He is a twelve year old paint horse though he is solid in color besides few markings. I love this horse so much he is my perfect match! He listens really well and he is just amazing! I ride him in just a halter and it only takes a second for him to cheer me up. I thank God everyday for giving me such an amazing boy (:
