HISTORY OF YOUR HORSE:
Rizzo (Named after the character Stockard Channing played in "Grease") was formerly "Raspberry". She is a Blue Roan. She was a rescued horse who has turned into an outstanding gal with just enough attitude to make her fun to ride.
My wife has a beautiful "Barbie Doll" horse...AQHA registered Palomino coloured (My profile shows her picture with her foal). Rizzo can't compete in the beauty contest...but the girl has heart & soul.
I have ridden since I was a kid. Worked on a ranch in Arizona growing up, Horse-packed in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho and now in the Cascades of Oregon. I love Norwegian Fjord horses.
I am married to the girl of my dreams (23 years), and we make our home in Western Oregon.
For those of you who are interested in Rescued horses and rescued kids, below is a ranch Donna and I have supported for many years. Kim Meeder and her husband have written two books about their experiences on the ranch: Hope Rising, and A Bridge Called Hope.
Howdy,I uploaded some videos. I thought you might be interested in seeing them, I hope you check them out. One is a video tour of the rescue! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
Can you believe summer is almost over and trail riding will be coming to an end? I am looking for pictures of your rides, stories and or other fun things you did this summer.

hiya Cowboy...boy, picking an all time favorite CCM artist would be tough, but I do love 4Him and MercyMe and Casting Crowns. lol omgsh, there are SO many that I like! Michael English, Shaun Groves, and Mark Shultz are certainly among my faves, too. The Newboys and many MANY others!
Hearing this type music brings some calmness when I hear it, if that makes any sense at all. :-D
Do y'all listen to any of it?
