Kate on Kate

Doctors tell Dwight it is not a good idea for him to go horse back riding for an extended period of time due to the blood clots he has had in his leg. For me that means, I have to be willing to ride by myself on a horse that I can control in all situations. Sassy has been a wonderful horse and will always be my first-but it takes a strong hand to control her-and sometimes I don't think it's wise for me to ride her alone. So the decision was made for me to retire Sassy. I unexpectedly got a call to come look at a horse. She's shorter than Sassy. She's very gentle. I went to ride her and she responds well. I can climb on her, make her speed up and slow down, calm her when she acts up, and I can make her figure 8 and back up. The trainer that had her needed a younger horse. One with a little more pep in her step. Sassy was exactly what she was looking for. Did I mention the horse she wanted to get rid of was named "Kate"?  The trainer was very excited to get Sassy and I'm equally excited about having Kate join us.
