Horses in our Memories – Leo
I’m writing to tell you about my favorite old guy. His name was Leo . He was a buckskin quarter horse. I met his mom Loretta through a lady. We were talking and I was telling her about a bad experience I had and she sent me to Loretta. That is where I Met Leo. He was 9 years old at that time and what a handsome boy he was. I fell in love at first sight and I wouldn’t ride anyone else much to the dismay of my friend. Leo really helped me to build my confidenceafter only a month. So much so that I started to barrel race only for fun in Loretta’s corral and other things with him. I wasn’t scared any more to ride.  I rode him for four years until I had my daughter. When my daughter was 6 months my favorite horse passed away at 25. He was  such a good guy If I was scared or nervous. He would stop and look at me as if to say I’m here don’t worry it’sokay. I won’t hurt you. Forever in my heart.

Thats just like my old man. Bert isn’t dead yet, but he’s the horse I learned to trust first. He’s 28 or 29 now… i’m not sure exactly.
when you put “He would stop and look at me as if to say I’m here don’t worry it’sokay. I won’t hurt you” It almost made me cry.
I hope you can find another horse that’s good like that, for you.
