Since everyone seems to be posting about their horses, I thought I'd share my guy!
Milo is a 16 y/o TB/QH cross gelding who I've had for 3.5 years. I've been riding him for about 2.5 years now and he's come a long way. His history is sketchy, all I know for sure is that he had been passed on to at least 5 different people over a 2 year period, and then he came to me. He'll hopefully be with me forever.
He had a lot of issues when I bought him, both under saddle and on the ground (didn't tie, didn't clip, reared, rushed jumps horribly etc). He's come such a long way... and I'm very happy with where he's at because I've done every single bit of training on him. I'm working with a great trainer for *me*- I take lessons- but she's never been on him and the very few times a friend has gotten on him, he's gone horribly for her but goes well for me.
Anyways, sorry for the long post- as you can tell I've come to love mr. Milo a ton (though it took a while to happen) and am quite proud of him.
Here are some pics!
This is what he looked like when I bought him (notice horrible lack of muscle):
Dressage at our event in June:
One of my senior pictures;
Jumping 2'6-
First jumper show!
A couple more pics to come!
