Gogo and I messing around and doing, um, some really bad groundwork. And quelle horreur! She was not even groomed. Enjoy the crooked halts and shavings tail!

About Me
- Andrea
- Weatherford, TX, United States
- For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around horses. I've been riding since the age of 7, and doing dressage and eventing since the age of 15. My first gelding was a little black Trakehner named Quincy who had had EPM at some point; he was the best friend an emotional teenager could have ever wanted. He died of a horrible colic in 2004. My second gelding was a dark bay clunker of a Trakehner named Metro; he was the best schoolmaster and friend I ever could have asked for, and he trucked my butt around my first real x-country courses, and brought me my first really fancy ribbons. Due to a whole slew of problems, we euthanized him in 2006. My third horse was the quirky and opinionated Gogo, my first youngster and my first mare. She taught me endless amounts of patience, the importance of praise and soft hands, how to graciously accept mass amounts of blue ribbons one moment and how to graciously accept a dose of humble butt-whooped pie the next. After a long and downhill rehab for compounded leg injuries, we let her go in October of 2011. What's next for me? Follow along and find out!

You two trot in unison! It looks like synchronized dance... How cool!
Neat to watch some sane, quiet, silent groundwork. Glad to see she's moving so happy...
wow, gogo always looks really nice in photos, but just seeing her walking and trotting in hand.. she is a really gorgeous horse!
Love the mug shot at the very end and the brief snuggle in the middle. And may I comment, once again, on THAT TAIL! Even with shavings it rocks. A bit of a broken record for sure but I'm struck by it Every. Single. Time!
She looks like one of our show hunters! Gogo needs to go on a diet!
She IS on a diet! She's gaining weight on air!
You guys look great and she seems like she is really listening to you in hand. Very cute.
seriously, her tail is ridiculous. you must have magical tail potions or something. even better, you could go into tail potions marketing! I WOULD BUY.
Forget my horse's tail, I wish that MY hair looked as good as Gogo's tail even with the shavings!
Seriously. What is your secret?
Honestly? Showsheen and or Canter detangler, and a paddle brush. That's it!
Hi Andrea! Between your blog and Daun's I have wasted (well, not really) so many hours at work when I have down time! I just got the opportunity to work with my instructor's 6 year old Hungarian Warmblood/Thoroughbred Cross...we are a match made in heaven, two red-heads with fiery personalities. I was hoping to contact you for some advice and to share stories, since you go your girl soooo green! This one acts like a filly!
