Max-a-Million

 For those of you who are horse savvy,  you know that the search for the right horse is not always easy and isn’t always found down the road you thought you’d be traveling.  Whether you’re looking for a Steady Eddie or something with a little more athletic zip … sometimes what you think you brought home to the barn doesn’t quite work out the way you had hoped.  Over the years we’ve made a few mistakes… ended up with a horse or two that had “too much engine” for our daughter, or myself.    I’m a sucker for a pretty face or a sob story, and sometimes in the horse world that ain’t a good thing.   We have always managed to re-sell or give those horses to good homes, where the rider/owner was looking for something with more ZIP.

We like the steady Eddie… and with 17 year old semi-retired show horse Max, we’ve gotten exactly that.   High praise to the horse Gods for sending him our way….

  1. It is hard…I'm so happy with my Dommie but at 22 and blind in one eye, I am keeping a lookout for a younger one. I like sensitive, forward, but sane…and I can only handle two horses so Duke would have to be placed. But he is soooo mellow and nice it won't be hard. We, too, have made some mistakes along the way…Nice that you have your "steady Edie!" What a lovely picture!!!!!

  2. He is beautiful. I like a steady eddy, too. Although I used to love my slightly spirited quarter horse, Ginger. What a wonderful part of your family! xo Diana

  7. After the election I have found I am no longer a betting woman! LOL!

    As an aisde, do you now anyone who needs a young pony? Our rescue is desperately looking for a home for one that came in as a stray. We deliver!
