So we all love horses. First of all give us the name, age, gender, breed, height and markings of one of your horses. This can be a horse you ride, a horse you own or one you owned.

Name: Oreo
Age: 31ish
Gender: gelding
Breed: Quarter horse/thoroughbred cross
Height: 15.3 or so
Markings: one little sock and a stripe



We need a visual of that horse. How about a picture standing still and a little description or story to go with it.

This is Oreo when I went out to brush him and ride, and I found him encrusted with dirt and mud. It took sooo long to get off, but he enjoyed the scratching of the curry comb and afterwars, he was sparkling (:

Now that we have seen a pic how about one of clip clop being ridden. Tell us about the picture.

This is Oreo and I one day in January last year, my dad took lots of pictures and Oreo seemed so so so happy that day.


Show us a head shot and a short story of a time with your horse. Doesn't have to be related to the picture.

Everyday, when we would let Oreo out to free graze, he would walk right up to our open front door and stick his head in to get treats. He knew for a fact he would get some so he always stopped by and then left when he got what he wanted (:


Horse have any bad habits?


The bush behind Oreo in this picture by the blue bucket was unfortunately, Oreo's back scratcher. He would walk right through it everyday to itch his back with it's little prickers. My mom wasn't that happy about this, so after awhile, I think actually after he was gone, We ripped it out and now there's no more bush.

A picture of your horse in action (ridden or not)



Oreo and I only went on trail rides with a bareback pad, becuase he was so old, and ont he way back to the barn, he would gallop towards it like a mad man! :) After awhile though, we always did circles to slow him down and he eventually accepted the fact that he should just walk. :P

Five things your horse likes

1. Treats :) oreos, hard bread, apple, carrot, horse treats, thin wheats!!, any kind of cracker or cookie :P
2. Being brushed. Oreo never put up a fight with getting brushed, he liked it a lot :)
3. Galloping. He loved galloping-especially towards the barn :P he would go so fast, I would forget he was a 30 year old
4. company. Oreo got depressed if he didn't have a horse friend for most of the time. Even if we took one of our horses out and not him, he would just whinny after them forever.
5. Dinner time. He loved getting his serving of senior feed which he would always spit in and make it soggy and then lick it up and he loved his yummy green hay
Five things your horse dislikes
1. Waiting for his food. He wants it NOW. :P
2. Other horses beating him up. That wasn't nice.
3. Banana or potato. nopee, none of that for him.
4. Being alone.
5. idk any others

Random picture of your horse and the story behind it.
This was just one day in the spring when they were in the Electric Fence pasture and the tree was blooming and everything looked so pretty.

A picture of when you first got your horse.

The first day, oreo was only skin and bones (literally), his back bone stuck up so much and his mane was jus tone big bunch of burs.

Give your horse a kiss and tag a few friends

Yesterday, it was 10 months since Oreo has died. :( I miss him so much. It's almost been a year and it's felt like only a month.
