Two weeks ago, my horse-shopping came to an end, and I could not be more excited! After months and months of endless searching, the horse-shopping excitement was starting to get old. In the oddest ways, everything does workout how it should, and I ended up with the best horse for me.
About three weeks ago, Angela informed me about an extremely talented horse she thought would be great for me. Upon further discussion, her father had bred the mare- yes, mare- and she was the last foal by Angela's FEI Grand Prix stallion, River H. Angela believed that this mare would not only get me where I want, but teach me so much along the way.
The mare is a seven coming eight year old Zweibrücker who was shown through Third but schooled Fourth and much of the Prix St. George, with definite potential for Brentina Cup. She stands at a gigantic 17.3 with the presence that makes her feels so much bigger. Despite the fact that just a couple months back, I had stated that getting a mare was not going to happen, her sweet and loving character won me over in the first five minutes.
The mare's name is River's Princess H and she could not live up to her name more. Pink and patent everything with anything a Princess would want! We brought her home this past Sunday, and she jump right into the swing of things. Everything I do, she just says "yes". Not to mention how quickly she has gotten attached to me. Every time I leave the groom-stall, she gets upset and when I turn her out, she stands at the gate and stares at the barn doors for ten or fifteen minutes!
I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Princess is not only talented and an incredible mover, but she has the heart and kind spirit to make working with her just a blast.
