all i have to say is one thing right now, well last september i bought myself a pony cross horse, well well well, did i know what i was getting myself into, lets just say only hlf of me knew! the tricks that people can pull when they are selling a horse! omg i never knew, well for one thing, Dixie( thats her name) kinda wants to bite but i wont let her, but when i went to go and see her, inspect, see if i wanted to buy her, they had the right rein wrapped around the horn(horn is on a western saddle) so that she could not reach her head over and bite me, so when i got her home, about a day or 2 after so she could settle in, i tried to get up on her and ride her, well well well, she tried to bite my butt! i am serious! but after a little training from me, no more butt bitting for this big girl!

well all i have to say is watch out for these little tricks that sellers can pull!

But i think in a way i saved Dixie because when we got her, they owners before had cut her whole mane off because they thought it looked funny! i think kinda need their manes to survive and she had these big scabs on her! i asked the owners before about it and the said the the other horses had beaten her up abit and i really think that Dixie was hurt when she was younger from previous owners, it seems that Dixie wanted to love but knowone loved her back, so i think Dixie has partially given up to try and bond or love her owners anymore.

but i still think there is hope for her, last summer she would buck a lot but this year so far, she hasn't even atempted to buck so i really think that she is starting to trust and bond with me. but when other people come, she sometimes gets very scared and wants to back out and away from whatever is going on but she seems calmer if i am there. she trusts that i might kinda save her.

But now she is alot better than she was before, her mane has grown out nicely, my neibor learned to be a farrier so he comes over to my house to look at her hooves and he does it for free, he is really nice. and i live on a farm so i don't have to worry about the cost of bording my dixie. i know she is safe at my house!

anyways, good luck on getting one and really sometimes its better to think about getting a horse for a few days, know what ur taking on.
