Ride and Decide






While I rode, Roger, Dad and Mom watched Ethan had a new friend to play with and throw stones in the shallow pond. The one horse was younger and a bit much to handle for us beginners. The we met Winnie, an off the track thoroughbred (OTTB) that was the pride and joy of Michelle (owner) for twelve years trained and competed in dressage and hunt seat competitions. Winnie's track name was "Rate to Win", and Winnie it became twelve years ago. Winnie has a calm, matter of fact disposition but was game for a ride and being on the go was a reward not a command to her. Checkout the great view Winnie had from her pasture on top of a hill and you looked down into a valley on all four sides
