Buddy is King of his domain. Just nibbling on his grass in his pasture with his mate, Bridget, in the background. The sun is shinning, the breeze lightly blowing, and a girl and her horse--ah, what could be better?





Kinley loves Buddy! It was love at first sight. She's a little spitfire and has no fears and really gives Buddy a run for his money when she rides him. All the kids love Buddy and love to ride him and take care of him. Buddy has never been so loved! They all love to brush him down and it is a fight to fead him his grain once we're done riding him. He was low in the pecking order at his previous home and had a lot of scars when we bought him. We really didn't know how much he was mistreated until we got him home. But we've been tending to his wounds and a little over a month later, they're healed for the most part. He looks so good!
This is our horse Buddy--well, actually his name is Beckett (or at least that's what I named him!) but we call him Buddy. He is a 6 year old gelding Tennessee Walking Horse. He is a dandy who loves to eat his grain and grass but won't even nibble on candy.
