Never look a gift horse in the mouth. I did but gonna have to do some research to know how old Johnny is. He can chew and he's not lame so those are two good points. Johnny is a boy, one descended, one not. He seems very gentle and very willing to be loved on.
Little Grandma Anna and Big Nana with Johnny, Jake is the photographer and the horse was given to him. This time last year, Johnny was a rack of bones. He's in better shape this summer and since no one would buy him, the neighbor gave him to Jake.
No flip flops today, I wore boots and did a little test run. Johnny leads...
sorta! Johnny will not lift his feet but after a couple of rounds he would stop and back up so maybe, sometime there was some training. He got a tad excited when I wanted him to turn but yielded nicely when I insisted. It didn't hurt that Grandma Anna had given me apple slices.
Johnny's markings are beautiful.
He shows roan. Any one have any suggestions of what kind he is? I'm thinking Quarter Horse but not sure. After sweating in the sun and playing with Johnny, we retreated to Anna's cool kitchen and had a wonderful visit. I needed that!
Thanks, Anna.
