Hello everyone
i know it has been forever since i have given a update and i am very sorry. Chance is doing wonderful in all aspects. he is now 100% sound and healthy going barefoot and being ridden well in just a halter and reins. Im so very proud of my big boy

Chance is doing wonderful. Hoof are rock hard and steady going barefoot for 4 months now. He has not been so sound since we got him. Wears easy boots on the fronts while riding and working on weaning him off the backs while riding which he is doing just fine in. Has been ridden under saddle a few times with no faults. Went on a hour and a half trail ride and had loads of fun. I got lost on the trail but chance knew where he was going every step of the way (he actually got us back to the road) Jumps logs alright, still needs some work on form, Water is still a little bit of a issue. His ground manners are to die for now, Does not even have to be tied in order to stand still while i do what i need to do, weather that means if i have to leave him by the barn while i go in. Hes great. best horse i have ever had. He has never done me wrong. I just can't say enough great things about him. Hes my baby who has found his forever home.

Chances First Bath With Us
He has come so far. we could not have asked for a better turnout. Here is his first bath with us. I'm sorry its been so long since i have posted. Lots of things have changed. We will be moving in 3 weeks (yay) when we move we will be welcoming 3 other horses into our family. there will be Chance, Millie (pregnant walker mare due around October-December) a mini filly named cupid, and a older gelding named prince. Here are some pictures of chances first bath with us. Just look how much he has changed. Much a healthy boy and well behaved too. Lots of work and dedication will get you far. We were very lucky with out turnout on chance. It looks as if maybe in another year or two we might not have any scars or very faint scaring. Yippee. Next question shall i show or shall he be a family trail horse?
Here are pictures of where we are moving. Chance will then be able to be at home with us and get worked way more often (little does he know lol)
