Rebekah's new Horse

[Dallas_Lilly]

Just thought some of you might like to see the new horse that I picked up for my 4.5 year old daughter. She is not quite ready to ride with out me on the horse or leading the horse but I wanted to get her used to being around them and my mare was to frisky. "Cinnamon" is a 12 year old mustang - qtr cross gelding. He is strawberry roan in color and he was bought at a BLM auction when he was a colt.

Nice looking horse. Horses are good for girls Girls are good for horses.

Compliments to the photographer. Great picture for the family album.
Beautiful background and pretty darn good looking participants too.

It really is a nice picture alright, but is that horse standing with his front legs crossed?

 

[RoyJackson]

Wow, He's a beauty!!!!

I love most critters, but as far as horses, I can only handle one's like the attached pic.

Thanks for the compliments, some guys have to have a good dog in their life to make them happy, me I need a good horse.

No I think it just looks like that in the picture. He is a talented horse but I do not think he is that talented The right foot is just behind the left foot.

I know that when I was growing up having horses and the responsibility that went along with them taught me good values and I hope to instill those same values into my 3 children.

Nope, take another look, the left leg goes straight down, the right leg is angled back, and the right hoof covers up part of the left hoof, so it is closer to the camera and the legs are crossed.

Mike, with a photo, I guess I can't be sure, but it sure looks to me like you described.

Wow I think you are right. This is a new horse to me and I will have to pay attention to how he holds his feet. I have never had a horse cross his legs like that.

Hey, you're just lucky the previous owner never noticed. The price would be much higher for such a talented horse! ;-)

I zoomed in to the pic 400%, and I don't think it is a bona fide cross...but that gelding sure came close, as if he had great intentions of doing that!

He is a very good looking animal...but your daughter steals the shot all the way (not to mention a great name too).

 

[Dallas_Lilly]

(not to mention a great name too).

All of our children have biblical names.

Praise the Lord, and may He receive the glory ;~)

If you don't mind me asking, what are the others?

How about the horses name, did you name it...or did I miss that?

Also, was it much trouble dealing with the government to purchase the horse?

Oophs!
EDIT: Just noticed - "Cinnamon", and the auction with Gov. was years ago.

The oldest on the horse is Rebekah Faith, our middle child is name Hannah Joy and the newest addition to the clan was born July 4th and his name is Dallas Jacob, we call him Jacob, we will se if it sticks.

Here in Arizona the adoption center in Kingman has adoptions for BLM animals once a month and then they will bring the horses and burros around the state about once a year to different locations. It is a very poplular way to get a in expensive horse in this part of the country, you just have to be willing and able to break a green horse. I have never done it but the people I know that have done it say that they are easier to break than a horse that was born in a pen. This is the second horse that I have been around that came from the BLM and so far I am impressed. They are not performance horses, just good family trail horses.

Those are beautiful names, and your quiver is filling up ;~)

I have always liked the look of those Mustangs. Not a big animal, but man do they look like they have a lot of spirit!

How about the burros, have you had any dealings with them?

I use to have horses when I was a teenager, and hopefully I will be able to have some again. There is nothing like being around a good horse to lift a persons own spirit.

Have fun riding, take care, and the Lord bless.

Yeah they are not real tall but are reall stout. I have never been around one of the burros.

Congratulation on a beautiful animal. I too thought his legs were crossed. At a glance they sure do look like it. This picture need to go in an illusion book cause its tricky

 

[Spiveyman]

I'm going to have to vote for crossed! Give the horse the benefit of the doubt! What a beautiful horse.

I also appreciate the names you've chosen. We wanted to do that with ours, but there are 26 grandkids in our family between my wife's side and mine and ours are the younger ones, so all the good Biblical names seem to have been chosen. We've even got a Josiah in the family. I wanted to go with Melchizedek for our son, but my wife won out and we named him after my uncle. Here's an interesting web site (I know it's a tad off topic, forgive me) but this guy names all of his Longhorns after Bible characters or scripture verses. Never seen that before. Thought you might find it interesting too.
