Which is the horse you own that is the one you're the most attached to? I know it is hard to pick ONE, and I'm almost splitting hairs to name this one and not also name another one (who's actually a nephew to this guy).
But, which of your horses is your favorite? And why is that so? What have you done with that horse? What are your future plans for him or her?
Pictured below is my favorite horse, Bacardi a/k/a Smarty Bacardi. I bought him as a yearling and trained him for showing (but he loves it and seemed to already "know" how to show himself). I've shown him so far only lightly but to Grands and a Supreme (my first actually). Bacardi is now coming 4yo. And he will eventually be trained to drive -- all it takes is either me finding the time or finding someone I trust to treat him as well as we do.
His heart is why I love him so much. He doesn't always do what I want, but he always TRIES to do what he thinks I want him to do. When I am outside, he is always watching me and always looking like he wishes I was doing something with him, even if I'm doing something with another horse and it's an activity he doesn't really like (like lunging).
Bacardi is a son of Ima Boones Little Buckeroo Too / "BTU" and that is a sire known for not just his beauty, but his heart and for putting a lot of that into his offspring. Based on what I see in Bacardi, and my BTU grandson, DunIT, I do think the rumor is the truth in that department
Since I decided to geld him as a junior horse, Bacardi of course has no impact on my breeding program but it just is my geldings (and that DunIT) that would make up the top of my list when it comes to my "favorites". I'm not sure this love for geldings is extremely compatable with my limited space and time and aspirations to breed, but what can ya do?
