So, I have horses. I have a few, not as much as I did a couple years ago however haha. The last time I put pictures up, likely on MUSTANG as many of you are from, I had a lot more. But we recently sold three so they won't be included in this.

Coco.
We bought Coco about 7 years ago. She was extremely skinny, near the end of her pregnancy, but just such a sweet heart. She has many physical problems with her; the vet believes that she had her jaw broken and it never healed properly, and she has really deformed front hooves. Not super bad, they just look weird. She is very old, the vet just said that she was a very old mare. She has now gained a lot of weight and has become just an even more sweeter horse. I ride her sometimes with a bitless bridle. She is a big Percheron cross mare

Hank.
I got Hank a while ago, perhaps 5. He is VERY VERY VERY Old. So old you can't even find his age. He has very bad teeth, a heart arrhythmia, and is skinny. Today when I looked at him I noticed that he is going blind in one eye. He is a very old guy. The picture you will see of him is when he was in better shape. Last year he got VERY sick (super close to dying in fact) But the guy pulled through!

Salty.
Oh Salty. He is such a basket case it isn't even funny. He was a stallion for the better part of his life and was gelded just before we got him from Rescue 100. He was one of the 100+ Arabs that were rescued here in Alberta a couple years. The story is all over google. His registered name is MWF Egzalt, he is a purebred Polish Arabian. He has many mental problems, but he was starved and neglected countless times over the years before he was seized by the SPCA. But He is still the pretty boy of the herd! It took him a bit to learn how to be in a herd, and interact with other horses. But he has now learned sort of!

Annabelle.
Yes, Annabelle. She is my sweety pie. I am the apple of her eye when she isn't due for a deworming and when she isn't focused on Salty when she is in heat.... She doesn't at all have the personality that I have her as on here. I use her for riding and everything. She is awesome to ride, again, when she is focused on me rather than the knight in shining armour. I use Coco's bitless bridle on her, she responds soo good to it. We rescued her and 24 other mares from being slaughtered a couple years ago.

Willow.
Willow when we got her in our rescue with Annabelle was very cranky, and wanted nothing to do with us. It was just until this summer where I can actually touch her face and ears. Willow was a pitty by from a guy who was collecting horses for meat. She was very skinny and was never going to be slaughtered haha. Willow is Salty's follower, probably because they are both Arabs. She is very old and has a bad back. So we don't really ride her that much, just a pasture ornament.

Gidget.
Gidget we got in our Rescue as well. She was pregnant with Rainn Wilson at the time. She has bad legs, is about as old as Willow, and likes to give kisses on the lips haha. She is more of my brother and sister's horse. We just lead them around on her and she can handle that fine.

Bambi.
Bambi is the last horse that we have for sale. We rescued her as well from being slaughtered. She was the most shy of the herd and I was only able to simple touch her last summer. But now she is an awesome horse to ride. She learns every day and you notice a good difference every time you ride her. She can be such a sweet heart once you get past her shyness. She is still shy to new people, but she is getting better.

Shorty. RIP.
Last year we lost Shorty, we got him the same time we got Coco. He was very old and very grumpy. But he was an awesome guy. He was a Percheron 17 hands high, and just awesome.

Go ahead and post horses you know and/or own!
