I was nominated for the ten-day equestrian challenge. This is 6/10
Everyday I select an image from a day in the life of horses that have had an impact on me and post it without a single explanation and nominate one other person to take the challenge.
That’s ten days,
10 equestrian photos
and 0 explanations.
I was 16 when I bought Last Lucky Frolic as a halter broke 2 year old. She was the first horse that was really mine. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her standing the the round pen when we pulled up to the farm to look at a different horse. That horse was a dud, and I kept whispering to sister L, "ask about the filly". After spending an appropriate time on the other horse, we finally asked about this one and I was surprise to find out she was for sale too. She was advertised as a POA (Pony of America) but matured at 15 hands. I was looking for a 16 hand green broke gelding and ended up with a 14,2 - 2 year old unbroke filly. Sometimes you get what you need and not what you want. I trained her myself and at the State 4-H horse Show won the Western Riding class with her. She was my childhood dream horse.

What a lovely tale.
This line was very profound "Sometimes you get what you need and not what you want"
