I have always had a love for horses for as long as I can remember, however, I didn't ride for the first time until I was fourteen. I remember the first horse I rode-Scarlet. A four year old Thoroughbred with a wild streak. I don't see why I rode her or why she was my favorite. I guess I was fearless and thought I could anything. Until I fell for the first time. That was the last time I rode her, and I soon developed a fear that would increase over time. My family and friends soon encouraged me and got me over my fear and I am very grateful for that.
My first horse was the sweetest horse. His name was Foxy and he was a 17 hand Tennessee Walker. We had to return him to his previous owners due to financial troubles and I miss him terribly. Even though I have taken riding lessons these past few years on various horses, I never felt another connection as deep as the one I had with Foxy until I met Garth- a 17 hand, off the track Thoroughbred. I am currently riding him on an equestrian drill team.
Stable Angel was inspired by these two horses.
