I used to have a foxtrotter. I miss him dearly, but I moved to college. I did grow up in Vernal you know, so I did 4-H and stuff. One of these days I will have a horse again. My hubby says if I want one that bad just to go get one and board it. But I hate to board, I did it with my Norman for 2 years in College and it was just way too hard, and he sat in a stall more then I liked. So he's up in Huntsville with a family of 5, I do see him once in awhile.
But it is fun to get them as babies. I acquired Norman for free. He was on a neighbors farm, and at 6 months of age decided to somehow climb up on the barn roof, they are still not sure how he did it, but we all watched him up there for hours trying to figure out how to get him down, well he slipped and he ripped a 6 inch by 4 inch chunk all the way down to the bone out of his left hip, and they were going to put him down right then, and I cried, and begged to save him. So my dad said if I wanted to try, we would try. The Vet said he would never recover. But I knew he would. So we kept it clean, and I actually poured Noni juice in it every day, and I would walk him 5 times a day to keep him moving, and sure enough he healed just fine. I loved that horse.
