Rebels Shadow

this little guy came into my life summer of 08' in bad shape. he was rescued by my riding instructor and he was me and one of my best friend Shawnas summer training project he is only three now. when he got off the trailor i was shocked by wat i saw i couldnt imagine how someone could let there horse get like that. he was skinny covered in dirt adn scars and scabs adn he had rainrot and 3 large gashes along his spine that were surounded by mud. he was also drooling a lot we were told he had dranken out of a swampish area with red algea in it and that was causing the drooling, delightful owners he must have had. we got him inside and started to clean him up we found out when we were grooming him that he had a tack in his front hoof adn that his gouges were not caked in mud but blood instead. we felt so bad for the poor little guy who seemed to have no ill feelings twards humans at all he was very friendly adn curiouse a typical three year old. we soon found he would follow us like a puppy everywear it was very endearing as you can imagine he quickly found a spot in all of our hearts and was given the name Trigger, or triggs by me and Ciara one of my other friends from the barn. when eh was healthy enough to ride we lunged him to get out some of his energy before seeing if eh had ever been saddled he ahd infact and that same day my friend Shawna got on him and did walk trot canter and jumped him one and a half feet! whoever had trained him trained him well because he even knew the canter cue and his leads they might not have fed or groomed him but man did they know how to train a greenie! he is now a very nice three year old that i am the proud owner of i look forward to getting to know him even better adn figuring out everything i can about him he is such a sweetie u cant help but melt when u see him! he has a face that screams for attention which he is very fond of '') this summer i will be taking him to two local fairs and showing him in halter classes and possibly walk trot riding classes but most of my riding classes will be done with star. trigger got his show name because he is stars adoptive son she has taken it apon herslef to show him the ropes. the two of them are liek peanut butter and jelly they get along great they even stand in the same stall trigger is now in a very happy loving home here with us at Pine River Stables were he will stay we shouldnt ever move but if we do there has to be a barn in the yard and it has to be bigger then the one at our house now!!
