When I was about 9 or 10 there was a mare and her colt at the end of our road. The mare's name was Sally and we named the colt Biscuit. Jess and I always went down there and pet them and played with them. After the colt was sold, the mare was brought back to the barn. The man who owned the mare said we could come over anytime and ride his horses. Sally was sold, but he had another mare we rode all the time and her name was Lady. Ever since we rode her, Jess and I started liking horses even more. We started taking riding lessons. Then two years ago Lady had a filly. We had seen her three hours after she was born. We named her Daisy. When Daisy was old enough to be weaned, we bought her. She was kept with a little pony we were training. They became really good friends and stayed with each other for about 6 months. When we were done with the pony's training, we gave the pony back to her owner. We bought Pearl to keep Daisy company last year. Last fall, Lady's owner sold her to us. Now we have three horses. In the picture from left to right is Pearl, Lady and Daisy. Pearl is a 9 year old appaloosa mare. Though she is chestnut and has no spots, she is registered in the Appaloosa Horse Club. Lady is an 8 year old spotted saddlehorse. Daisy is a bay Tenneesse walking horse/saddlehorse cross. She will be 2 this spring. Jess and I enjoy riding and taking care of them.
