Willow (last years project horse)

This is Willow... i had a few random videos of her on here. Had a great one made on my old computer a long time ago, but it wouldn't save. I've been thinking about Willow and Mister B lately (and how i miss them and how great they were) so I thought i'd make a little video of Willz. :)

Her background...
I was just browsing horses for sale last Sept (2008), not really looking (keeping eyes open for a potential project horse however) but I came across her ad and decided to go look at her. Ended up getting her less than 2 weeks later.

When I first got her she had had a saddle on her back maybe once, never been ridden, didn't tie, lounge, pick up her feet etc. She was my real challenge to myself and my first 'project' horse. Within a week I had her ground manners going well and later on she had a saddle on her back. First ride a came off a bit hard (no, i did not land on my head!! hahaaa), but I got back on and had a nice first ride. Within a month we were walking and trotting comfortably and not too long after cantering. Jumping came easy for her, but due to her being young we never went higher than 2'. Not even 2 months after I had owner her I took her to a hunter pace... miles of trails with a few jumps... and she was excellent, not phased by anything (never really was)!!

This mare had one of the sweetest dispositions ever... she would never mean to hurt anyone. She was a 4year old Quarab mare and stood around 15hh. I had her for sale, but ended up trading her for Chic and she is now used in some lessons.

***The sound is a bit strange... turn it up for the beginning and then at :20 turn it back down :) and, oh yeah the ending was just like a blooper, my phone alarm went off and happened to play out through that and end right as she went over the pole :) but you can barely hear it.
