In June of 2007 we had the amazing experience of being in the horse pasture when our mare, Lady, gave birth to a new colt. The colt looked alot like a baby moose when she was born but instead of calling her 'Moose'
we decided to call her Pepper after the look of her coloring. We both imprinted her as she was being born. Over the past two years she developed a little bit of a fiesty personality and so we decided to get her into some training this fall to help take out some of her vinegar. It was time for some tough love so we could feel comfortable with the grandkids being around her.

We found a trainer named Harold who has really helped her. He says Pepper isn't the quickest horse he has ever worked with but once she learns something things begin to move right along. He said she isn't the bravest horse either but she is doing really well.
Neil has had to learn to ride all over again and said it is alot more work than he thought it would be but he seems to be enjoying the entire training experience. It is kind of like golfing....trying to think of about ten different things to do at the same time.
We are looking forward to bringing Pepper home in a month or two and hopefully the grandkids will be able to ride her this next summer.We really have a special attachment to this horse.
Too bad there wasn't a place I could send my teenagers to take a little vinegar out of them! She's beauty... and the rider isn't too bad himself!
