Horse Eden : My Horses

This is Beleza. She is a 13 year old Lusitano, Quarter Horse, Friesian cross mare. She is about 15.3hh tall. Her mom is a dun Friesian x Quarter Horse and her dad is a stunning grey Lusitano imported from Brazil (I'll insert a photo if I can find one). She's an interesting color. When I got her in 2015, she looked like a dapple grey dun (she had the dorsal stripe and the stripes on her legs) with a red undertone but she has since greyed out. She's training in dressage and is a gorgeous mover.

This is Peanut Butter, a 7 year old Shetland x Miniature pony, but I've been told he looks more like a welsh than a shetland. He is a very special pony. He knows how to walk and trot in hand, how to do trot polls, has been broken and even drives. He's only 39" tall (9.3hh).

And finally, the newest addition to my bunch. This is Bear who is a 16.3hh tall Belgian draft. I have had him since October when I bought him from an Amish farm. It was my first time on a working Amish farm and it was a very memorable experience. He is a retired plow horse who had been out of work and was in desperate need of a home. He is now starting training undersaddle and low level dressage. My barn owner has fallen in love with him and says that he is the most grateful horse she's ever met. At first, he refused all treats including carrots, sugar cubes, apples and pepperments. All he would eat is granola crackers. This has since changed but I thought it was a cute detail to add :)

(That's me compared to him. I'm 5'2 (157cm) for reference).

I hope you've enjoyed learning a bit of my life outside of the game. Thank you for reading! I will be updating this with more photos as time goes on and I can go to the barn again. My barn is across state lines and they're a lot more strict with the COVID restrictions so I haven't been able to see them in a while.
