High Hopes Designs

Beautiful memory that was sent just a bit ago. Love the way this turned out!

****SOLD****Registered POA gelding for sale. He has his permanent height card measuring in at 56 1/8 with shoes. He’s a 2015 edition. Registered name, TNE Real Sterling. Bay with blanket but turns buckskin coloring in the summer.

I have videos of my friend Faith riding him. She is 14 and had never ridden him before we did the videos. We gave her about a 10 minute warm up. Intermediate rider suggested.

He is a walk trot machine. Nice collected canter. Light in the bridle and responds very nicely to your leg. I am a dressage rider so have trained him as such. I have primarily ridden him western. He would need more work to feel comfortable English.

He was a back burner pony that I started at 5. He has shown extensively. UTD on everything including teeth. Regular vet and farrier work. He is in regular training now.

We are located in the middle is Missouri. Priced high fours starting with a 9.

Reason for selling is I have a foal coming and want to concentrate on my older gelding that I haven’t gotten to ride very much.

Take him western pleasure, ranch or even dressage. No buck, no bite, easy to load, low man on the totem pole.

When trying to feed last fall and this bale broke all to pieces I wanted to get off the tractor and just cry. It wasn’t the waste of the bale, it was the fact that I knew I have no one to help me clean it up. Yep, no help. I have to do these things by myself because horses just aren’t my families thing. So this is what’s left, I’ve already pitch forked up 2/3’s of the bale.

This all has to be cleaned up before the next batch of hay comes in. This is why horse women give it up. When you have to struggle by yourself all the time with no support, no cheering section, no help, your heart just breaks.

Wipe your tears girl and get back to it. These are the struggles that will make you stronger or make you give up. I’m not done yet, but oh am I tired.

Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving! I hope you all have happy memories from this year with your horses.
