Just wanted to share...

About 3 months ago I purchased a horse named Royalty. She was a black/white paint mare, and in short, was way too much for me to handle.

Then I happened to meet a woman at the Burlington, IA swap and we got to chatting about horses. Just so happens her son was looking for a fast barrel horse. She came out, looked at Royalty, rode her, and then told me about Tomahawk, aka Tom. He is her white/brown paint gelding whom she'd had for 4 years. She was so intreged and challenged by Royalty, she was talking about trading Tom for her. However, she was fairly attached and wasn't sure just then.

About 2 weeks later she sends me a text message asking if I'd like to bring Royalty out and ride with her. Sure! So we met up, and she rode Royalty, her son had a different horse, and I rode Tom. We had a blast!!

Anyway, (I'm trying hard to be brief), at the end of the day I had Tom in my trailer and she had Royalty in hers!!! I am so happy with my big boy!!

First, Royalty:

So,....who's up for a good ride? :D
