Hope joined our family on December 29th, 2001. She's a 10yo, 16hh, 1100#, registered Thoroughbred. She was headed to the auction if not taken quickly. I surprised my husband with her as a late Christmas present. He was pleasantly surprised and is happy to have a horse he can ride so we can go out together. He really likes her and says she's the best horse in the pasture now. Give a guy a horse and their ego just gets bigger! :) This is his first. We all love her and she's the sweetest mare. I'm looking to breed her to this spring; either a quarter for an appendix foal or a paint for color.
