Today, May 25, 2011, Tucker turns 8 years old! I cannot believe that I have owned him for seven and a half years! When he came off the PMU trailer, he was a gangly, gawky baby, covered with ringworm. He was taller than the other babies, and ornery! Everyone told me I would never be able to tame him! There were times that I believed that, like the time he went up and over the round pen panels...twice! But once he was halter broke, the rest came pretty easy to him. He is smart and wants to please. He is talented, athletic and a beautiful mover, with the personality of a Labrador..we just need to remind him that 2000 pound beasts do not belong in your lap! He loves going cross country, we both think that is the greatest sport on earth..galloping across the countryside, jumping insane fences, feeling the wind through mane and across your face...total exhilaration! I cannot imagine that he was bred to be destined to be some one's dinner overseas....how sad to think how many did meet that fate. I am glad he came into my life...even on those days that I have to repair a broken board or purchase an expensive piece of tack to fit the beast (trailer, saddle, bridle, halter, blankets, you name it, I've had to buy everything new for him!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCKER!
My PMU mare, Ruby, was granddaughter to Johnnie Showtime. I bought her from Folaquest in 2002. I used to have my mare lineage, but lost it. I know her sire was a bid bland and white paint /percheron mix (son of Johnnie Showtime.,)

ReplyDeleteI meant her sire was a big black and white mix!
