Meet Biz!


So last week responded to an AD on Dreamhorse.com to a woman looking for someone to ride a horse she is fostering from H.O.R.S.E Rescue & Sanctuary. I've been dyeing to ride, yet am really out of shape, and figured this guy would be fairly out of shape as well. Which is good, we can come back together. Well I went to meet him on Wednesday and we got along great. He's super adorable and although small, has a HUGE personality. Today I went out to ride him. I brought Chase with me since I figured no one would be at the barn (I was right) and I don't know the horse very well. He was a bit anxious in the barn because he was alone (the other 3 horses were out still) but was still pretty well behaved. Once I got on he relaxed and was surprisingly well behaved. He hasn't been ridden since like August (I think) so I had no idea what to expect. He responded pretty nicely to both my hands and legs.
It felt SO good to be on a horse again!
Here are a couple of pictures from my phone. Meet Biz!
One of the greatest views ever!
I was still on him in this one too...




In other horsey related news, I want this horse. He is a former racehorse and currently located in PA...he's also very handsome. :)
