My Friend's New Horse by Sarah
by Embrace Country Life on 12/29/13
Yesterday my friend, Rose got a new horse. Rose had sold her
old horse, Jaine because she was way too much to handle. After a couple months
of searching for the right horse, Rose found just the right one…Tara. Tara is around a 15 hand thoroughbred off-track horse.
She’s 8 yrs old and used to run
in races. We think that the reason she
didn’t make it in the big races is because she had small legs, so she’s
probably slower than the other race horses.
On
the day that Rose got Tara, she first came up to our house with Preston, who
used his truck to hook up our trailer to get the horse with. When they left, my sister, Alicia and I got
up and ate breakfast. Once they came back we were over at their barn waiting
for Tara’s arrival. After Tara met their other horse, Violet, Rose decided to
ride her new horse. Alicia and I watched Rose and her sister, Frankie ride Tara and Violet
for a while then we decided to get our horses, Sassy and Flash to ride with
them. During the ride Flash got to meet Tara. He didn’t care at all, they
nudged noses then walked away. We were outside for a total of 6 hours! Tara is
doing amazing and so is Violet with her new friend! J
