I got a new horse!!! His name is Rubato, he is an Oldenburg gelding, he is a dark bay, and he is 8 years old. He has shown through Prix St. Georges, but schooling a little above that. We are calling him "Otto" for short. Betsy and I are totally in love with him. He has the best attitude. He knows he is good at his job and all he wants to do is show everyone how special he is. I am very excited to start a partnership with this horse! I think we are going to do well together :)
Betsy has been riding both the boys the past few days because I'm a little under the weather, and they both look outstanding! Otto struts around like he owns the place, and Webby has developed a GORGEOUS topline. He is big, beautiful, and so round!! He fits right in the the rest of the dressage horses here ;) (my mom didnt even recognize him when she saw him last week) I cannot get over the complete transformation that Webby has made in the past year! He does not look like the same horse, and he is absolutely beautiful. He and I have both grown a lot together so I am sorry that I have to say good bye to him soon. He will stay here with Betsy to be sold, but I know he will be happy to teach someone else everything he has taught me :) Web turned out to be so much more than what we expected when we bought him 5 years ago. He and I have had our ups and downs as many of your know, but he has been a more than gracious partner to me and I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything. He is a lovely horse and a wonderful teacher. I am excited to see what he will do for his next person.
