Bella is my 6 year old, TWH, Mare. I bought her as a 3 year old in the fall of 06'. I let her just kinda grow up that first winter and then put lots of trail miles on her summer of 07'. In 08' I intended to ride several L.D.'s on her. She had other plans. I took her to Grizzly, she said something nasty to her mate and got a kick to the forearm. Mt. Adams ride was cancelled that year. I completed at Prineville, yeah! Bella decided to stick her foot through my fencing, pawing/teasing the neighbor dog, so we missed Klickitat. I completed at Bandit, yeah! And Oregon 100, yeah! And Foothills! After which Bella developed a foot abcess. End of Bella's 08' season.
This last year she has been ponied quite a bit and ridden by friends as I have been starting my new horse 'Glory'.
Bella has a real strong horsenality. I rarely have to wonder how she is feeling. She expresses herself well:) She is a blast to ride, with an easy, yet powerful running walk and a rack that can bring tears to my eyes.
I am looking forward to getting back in the saddle and racking down the trail (Pain Free) on my girl 'Bella'.
