I just read that again and realized it sounded like Squeaky died at one year.
We got her early in our marriage, maybe 1973-74. So she lived about 12 years.

Gorgeous Palomino!!I finally found a couple of old, old pics. This is my teenage dream horse Lucky! We didn't compete but had a lot of fun exploring the back blocks. No safety gear!I was about 18 - 19 I think and thought I was invincible, as you do at that age. View attachment 130621View attachment 130622
No safety gear! Oh yeah! Probably between 13 and 16 years old a friend of mine got a horse. Just a small little Bay with no papers or special breeding but man did we have a lot of fun on that horse! She put up with a lot! One time we had three of us on her bareback riding around her backyard. I think she loved all the attention. With little encouragement we can get her to rear up and we thought that was so much fun! LOL I would never want to teach my horse that now. But we had so much fun with that. We rarely had a saddle on her . She was smart, patient and taught us a lot. I have good memories about those years out there! Finding a picture from those days it's going to be difficult but if I ever come across it I'll post it!
I still don't.
I was only 17

In the spirit of the Holidays, a festive Tobie from 7 years ago!
This picture was taken 2 days after Rubie was born. Little did I know that I would loose my Tobes two weeks later and then stumble across a fiery red-head to fill the hole in my heart

I can't imagine the rush!!! WOW!!!
It was the kind that I'd wake up at 4 a.m. for and be bouncing to get out the door to go to "work". Worked for a couple of farms then for myself, the horses were my lifeblood. You can't be in it part time. I miss it, some of my very best memories in my life, but don't need it back.

I am the older sister in the middle. My sweet Nippy had a fling and we were delighted with the results! This would have been early ‘60s.

I'm about 10 years kid here I think. I was in heaven because I got to take riding lessons after begging for years for a horse. It was the best my parents could do since they knew nothing about horses. They thought I'd "outgrow" my horse crazyness, but they were wrong about that. This was a thoroughbred jumper named Sedgwick. This wasn't a lesson day, my uncle & aunt and a cousin were visiting and I asked if I could show them my lesson horse. His owner was there riding him, so she let me sit on him for a photo while I was there with family and relatives. I think I probably wanted to prove to them all that I could ride. 
It was totally foreign to them - I have zero family or extended family that was ever remotely interested in horses.

OMG... my cousin sent me this picture. This is my Grandmother (we called her Nanny). We have no idea what year this was taken, but she was born 1908 if that gives you an idea of her age (30ish maybe) . I used to love spending a weekend or part of summer vacation with her. She was so dang sweet....... but I have heard some pretty badazz stories (If the photo is any indication, I'm leaning towards believable stories)!
