Hello everyone! I just wanted to make this blog to share a little about my riding life the past few months or so..?

I have a 20yo QH gelding that I bought almost 3 years ago, which he has taught me so much in my riding career I can't even explain it. I still have him now and he will have a forever home with me. In October 2019 I was riding a friends horse for awhile and fell in love with him, he was so fun to ride and had an amazing jump. I rode him for about a month, when we decided to buy him. I brought him home and about a week later I had a lesson on him at a local equestrian center, and I noticed he was limping about 15 minutes into my lesson. I was really sad/disappointed when that happened as I only had him at my house for a few days. We had the vet out a couple days later and found out he had a suspensory tear in his front left leg. The vet said he can't jump anymore, which I bought him for that. She said he'd be great for anything but that, which was very disappointing. We made the tough decision about a month or two later after he healed, to sell him. He went to a family which I'm very happy about, it was just sad to see him go as I loved him dearly. Late December came around and my horse Willie (20yo QH) became lame. We had the vet come out for him, and I can't quite remember what happened but his knee was very swollen and he could barely walk, I gave him bute and antibiotics and he's now looking a lot better. I've worked him a little to see how he's doing recovery wise, but he's now 100% there yet. So I've been riding my 25yo Arabian, very light work but he's just fun to get on and walk/trot around. I've decided to take lessons on my trainers horse Astro, he's as 17.2hh Thoroughbred gelding. He's such a sweet boy and I hope to improve my self with him! The past few months horse wise hasn't been amazing, but it's taught me that everything happens for a reason. If one door closes, another will open. I'm glad I have the opportunity to ride Astro, and I can't wait until I can get back on my boy soon.

Thanks for reading this if you stuck through it lol :)
