First Meeting

Do I look like I was intimidated ??

Yep, I was alot intimidated!!
I first saw King when Dusty Devoe and I got to go
to Palm Springs to visit the Desert Rose about four
years ago. That was when she decided it was time for
us to start riding!
He belonged to a friend of hers that she rode with.
I thought that he was a beautiful horse, but I knew
that I would never be able to ride a horse like him..
He and his partner led the ride and he had alot of
energy and I remembered him doing alot of prancing.

Fast forward about four years..

The Desert Rose brought him home last
summer for sisters and cousins to ride.
This is the first time that I went in and got him
to groom and ride and I was almost shaking in
my boots, I had this very powerful horse looking
over my shoulder and I kept thinking back
to the first time I saw him..
I managed to get him out ok , with my nerves shot!!
I let him graze a little bit before we went
to tack up.

Our first time riding together we just rode in
the arena. That went pretty good.

I went down the next weekend to go out on our
first trail ride.
I was hooked on this boy and knew that
I wanted to ride him more...

I rode him all summer and slowly started feeling
a little bit more confident riding him.
Then last fall he became mine.

Wow.. Who Knew...

That today The King and I led
our first trail ride with
Dusty Devoe and her Copper Pony!

I still consider myself a beginner rider
and I do have to admit that I am
proud of myself and my boy!


Now it's me prancing on that Big Beautiful Boy!
Happy trails to me and "MY KING"
