Throwback Thursday - Tribute

On this beautiful Thursday I am brought back to my childhood when days like today were for fun in the sun!  Mostly we spent time either playing basketball or riding our horse.  Our horse was amazing!  He is a Paso Fino with a gate that looks like a dance rather than a walk or a trot.  This breed is also very spirited and exciting to ride!  My Aunt and Father taught us how to ride which created a lot of wonderful memories that I will never forget!  Even cleaning the stall, which wasn't fun, was a good lesson to teach us how to work hard.  As you can see from the photos below we loved to go to various show arenas to let him show is stuff and we had a great time getting ready for the show too!  A big thanks to my Aunt for letting us follow her horse when our boy was acting like a wild cat! 

The reason I have our horse on my mind is that we sold him when I was in college because we didn't have time to give him the attention he should have therefore he went to a great home in South Carolina and my Father received a phone call from the lady that bought him stating that unfortunately he has cancer.  In respect to him they have decided to put him down and donate his body to science research.  I am greatly saddened and I am thankful for my Parents allowing us to have this horse be a special part of my life!  Love you fast one!!! 

The Fast one - We love you!!

Showing our boy I think we got third that time!
