Welcome to my blog!

Man, setting up a new blog is harder than I thought it would be! I'm still tweaking the look of my blog, so please bear with me!

I rode my 23 year old Quarter Horse Willy yesterday. We've been partners for 12 years! He's got a heart of gold and I wouldn't trade him for any other horse. I've learned so  much with him. Willy has always let me try out all my "training" techniques on him over the years and he's always trued to do whatever I wanted him to do. From reining and team penning to driving and all-around events, Willy is always game to try something new. People who have seen us together notice what I've always valued about Willy: we seem to read each others mind. One example of this is when we work cattle. He just seems to know which cow I want to go after and where I want to take it. We just work as one unit! It's so much fun to be with my horse.

Willy is my main animal model, so look for more pics of my big red horse. Let me know what you think of these! Who is your favorite animal and why?
