100 Things - Someone's bucket list?


This should be fun! I picked up this list from francies fancies which came from having read Willow's blog. Anyway, I followed the instructions and bolded the items I have experienced. Now I'm adding a couple more:
a) gentle broke and trained a 2-year-old quarter horse and had her for about 18 years.

She now lives with a friend who loves her as much as I did. Ginny Blue is getting old now, she should be about 24 years old, but is in good shape & beautiful.
b) helped deliver my mare's colt, imprinted him a few minutes after birth, and a few weeks later halter-broke him. (Imprinting a newborn foal makes the horse easier to handle by humans as it grows older. It helps lessen the animal's fear of farriers and horseshoeing, of veterinary examinations, and other unnatural fears that a horse may encounter.)

It seems that I have experienced 61 of the 100 items mentioned, and as you see I added two of my favorite things (a & b) at the beginning.
