I did not take this picture, the former owners sent it to me. For those of you who have been asking about Buddy, here is a not-so-great photo of him. I will take better ones as soon as I can get some weight on him. He is very thin. You can see his ribs. His former owners were city people who bought horses when they moved to the country, and do not know how to take care of them. Very sad. They are not mean people, just stupid about horses. He is five years old and one of the sweetest horses I have ever owned, although I have been very lucky with horses. He is 16 hands and very large compared to my Egyptian Arab mare, Mindy, who is 14.2 and technically a large pony. I'm 5'4", so she is not too small for me to ride, just too small for the show ring. Buddy is named after my first horse, who was also a real sweetheart. Buddy thinks he is a dog and follows me around, putting his large head over my shoulder and also scratching my back when I clean his hooves. The problem is he is so big, and doesn't realize it, so if he steps on my foot - ouch!!! I rode him at the barn where I board my mare today for the first time and he was wonderful. Not spooky at all. If he is worried, his eyes get big and he looks at things, but is much quieter than my mare, who I thought was the quietest horse on Earth, LOL! Anyway, will keep you posted. Right now he needs lots of food and TLC. My husband, who thinks horses are the biggest waste of money, does not know about him, so I feel like I am having an affair, LOL!!!!! Hugz, Sherrie
