This is a video of the first horse I ever raised, Scrapper, being ridden for the first time by my son Joshua. I know that Scrapper is sore in the video and you will be happy to know that his heart bar shoes with wedge pads have helped tremendously. Here is a selection from my blog about the movie War Horse explaining more about Scrapper. http://stacywestf... "The story line prompted me to share with my boys the story of my very own 'war horse', Scrapper. Scrapper is the one and only foal that my mare, Bay, ever had. I bred her once and Scrapper was born. I did all of his training including taking him to college with me my sophomore, junior and senior year. He was the first foal I raised and the first horse I trained from start to finish...and then I was married. We were broke and in debt except for one asset...a horse worth $5,000.00 I cried and promised him that someday I WOULD buy him back. I promised.
His first job involved becoming a roping horse where they nick named him 'Pinky' because the tie down they used on him rubbed him raw and the medicine they put on it was pink. He was sold again and was used as a mounted police horse because of his size, temperament and high training level. He then sold again and became a AQHA show horse winning Ohio Quarter Horse Association year end awards and earning 67 AQHA points in mainly showmanship and horsemanship (thank you Findlay). He was also ridden in the AQHA Horseback Riding Program. I owned him for six years, sold him for six years, and then bought him back. He had five different owners during that six year period and countless experiences both good and bad. I followed him through each move including a trip to Tattersalls horse auction in Kentucky in an attempt (failed) to buy him back. Eventually he began to have soundness issues and the last owners were happy to sell a not quite so sound horse for $5,000.00.
While the story line may not be quite as dramatic as 'War Horse' I think the story meant more to my kids. To be able to hear about their parents being broke, making and keeping a promise, and for them to be able to feed Scrapper an apple and take him for a ride makes it all the more real. My very own war horse-home for good."

So, Gam and I hit Oktoberfest yesterday. This show was a blast! People are riding around in costumes, Everyone was smiling. I love to show at Olde Hope, and this time was no different. Gam and I had a blast! I was a little bummed when I a woke at 5 am to some very nasty weather. If you follow me on twitter, you'll know I haven't been a fan of the weather we've been getting lately. Anyway, Old hope are troopers, and they still had the show! Good thing too. Check out my Gam, I'm so proud of him! It makes me smile ear to ear seeing how far we've come! Thanks to all of you for your support! :D You guys ROCK! -Jess
