Wednesday
Wednesday is my 1989 Arabian mare.
I was given this mare on my 14th birthday as a gift
from my Aunt who had her as a weanling, I was eight years old.
Because she was a small mare and I was a small girl
we were a perfect match. When ever I went camping
or did anything with her horses I would ride
or interact with this mare. Of course I bonded with her
and could only think of the day I would eventually
be able to own a horse just like her. I actually daydreamed of
owning her but what was the likely hood of that.
Well, it happened, on my birthday this mare became my
first and very own horse. We started showing in 4-H and
qualified for the state fair every year, mostly in contesting and
English halter. In 1999 we were the high point senior pony for
Contesting, and English events.
Most of these ribbons, plaques, and trophies are from the past
5 years showing her, some are from the last two years of the
5 showing Scooter in Halter.
Wednesday has done so much for me and others.
After 4-H I went off to college and she
joined me, becoming a lesson horse for the
Ball State Equestrian Team and for private lessons.
She has also been leased out to two young girls
that were involved in pony club. Dressage and
Jumping were the two disciplines we didn't do, but she
was apparently good at. Who could believe this mare
started off as a fun trail horse and ended up being a
successful show horse and teaching many beginners.
I wouldn't trade this mare for the world.
