My Horse Indigo

My horse Indigo is a true friend to me. He started of living in Indiana and raised by a pure cowboy after he rode him for a couple of years he started treating Indy badly and soon the Indiana Equine Rescue took him to there clinic. Indigo doesn't like his head touched much and is very sensitive near the ears, maybe from some kind of ruff handling from his previous owner.
After a couple of days staying at the clinic, he was bought from somebody in Massachusets. She started training him to ride English and soon Indigo gained his trust in people again. That girl had 3 other horses and soon she had to sell him. My mom brought me to my riding barn and she said I would be leasing him( I honestly didn't know him) but right as soon as I saw him he stole my heart right away, and I knew we will be the perfect match. Now Indigo is OUR HORSE and we're not leasing him any more because we bought him.
He is very impressive when it comes to dressage. my trainer can make him do a Piaffe or trotting in place! We plan on showing him a lot this year, and I'm sure he will take me to the top!!
