Butch just came home from Canon City's saddle horse program. I went to look
for a wild horses, but fell for this guy with his quiet, charming demeanor.
He's a 1998 model from the Owyhee HMA in Nevada. He's very laid back, not
spooky, and quite gentle. The first day home, he hid in the shed and wasn't
sure about being caught and handled, the second day, he was waiting for us
at the gate and so he earned a trip to the arena to play at liberty for the
morning. Hopefully he will love competitive trail as his main job and
develop into a good dressage mount, too.
