-Trigger. <3

It was a hot day last summer, when my moms friend brought a horse over to my house. I was to spend the next two months training him. When he got there, I thought "here we go again, ANOTHER horse for me to train." As I started riding/training him, I really bonded with him, It's like we just clicked. He listened to me so well, and was very persistant to learn. I brought him to his first trail ride in July. HE DID AWSOME! He did JUST as good as most horses there, No one could believe he was only two years old. There was even an incident when a horse got loose and ran up on him, and he handled it very well, we even ponied the horse back to it's owners. As the summer went by we started going to more and more trail rides. He became very popular in our riding club, and every one wanted to see "Trigger" the horse with only 3 months of training keeping up with the dead broke trail horses. Finally, it was the beginning of fall, and I was headed to my favorite trailride of the year. Trigger was in the trailer. I was SOOO excited. No sooner than he backed out of the trailer, I threw a saddle on him and took of down the trails. Trigger carried me through some of the hardest trails I know. Only with 3 months of training. And he did great! When I got back to camp, my moms friend, Triggers owner, came up to me with a certificate of sale and said he'd sell him to me for cheap, since he wouldn't want to see him go to ANYONE else. He said he's never seen any horse and rider have such a trusting relationship. Tears came into my eyes and I knew I couldn't pass it up. I spent the rest of the week at my favorite trail ride, with my favorite horse, and i've never felt more at home than I felt sitting in my saddel riding those trails. With MY Trigger. <3
