Oh wow Jo*mar,

how weird is that, so many similarities!!!!
I got my girl when I was 14, she was in a huge paddock, I jumped on her bareback, with a halter. We took her home that afternoon, in a rickity single float(that now I wouldn't use to move furniture) it was pouring with rain, we had to crawl past a fallen tree on a gravel road. She was green broke, use to kick up a stink when I tried to canter, but we got over that and developed an amazing friendship. We did some very scarey stuff together, if my Mum new about it she would have fainted.
We started our journey on Natural Horsemanship together, although I think we were doing it before I had the lessons. Yes there are some wonderful memories, and those are what I think of every time I tear up, so thanks for sharing your memories!!! I appreciate it.
