Tall horses

["GAY LYKES" <GAYLYKES@prodigy.net>]

I'm 5' 4', so am in between as far as riding size mounts go.   I've had
other horses that were small and some tall, but it was never the size of the
animal that determined whether I liked them or not.  When you plan on
spending a long time on horseback, its pretty important to like the horse's
back you're on.  I bought little Buddy, who's 14 hands, from a horse dealer
about 2 years ago, and have never looked back.  He has --well, he's capable
of--a wonderful ground covering walk and is a real little mountain eater.
So, where is this all going except to brag about how wonderful the little
jarhead is?  Well, by coincidence I found who the previous owner was and
contacted her.  Why did she sell him?  Because everytime she would meet
others to go riding they would say--here comes Sharon on that little
pony--and she's just 5 feet tall.  So,she let others tease and embarrass her
into finding another horse.  I'm glad they did--in a selfish kind of
way--but don't try it on me.  I don't care if he's a pony or a high rise
edition, he's my boy and that's the way it is.

Gay and sweet little Buddy
