It’s so much fun to watch Sara and Foster work together, they both have really come a long way together. ReplyCancel

The improvements that Sara has accomplished since last Jan are amazing. When I first met him in Jan. he was covered in mud, ribs showing, but, as Sara says, he loved to nuzzle. A true “love horse”. In July, I saw him again, clean, groomed, ribs filled out, with a sleek and shiny coat, and riding well, (still nuzzling me when allowed) :-). What a change! Sara has worked hard with this boy!! I’m proud of both of them!! ReplyCancel

I love that he loves peppermints. Is this a horse thing or a Gatchell thing? It seems like you two are a match made in heaven…pushing each other every day!ReplyCancel

I love horse stories and yours, Sara, is certainly an entertaining one. Congratulations! I begged my parents for a horse, too, when I was young. I got a dog one Christmas, and couldn’t understand why I didn’t get a horse the next year!ReplyCancel
