Me and sassy
Hi! My names Maddie. I have a black, 9 year old Missouri Fox Trotter named Sassy. I ride western and I wanted to do Barrel Racing for a while but I changed my mind and decided I wanted to ride English saddle.
For my birthday I will start riding lessons at a stable near my grandparents house. We talked to the instructor and she said that I will have to learn western saddle better before I learn to jump.
I am horsecrazy because horses are the most graceful, most powerful, amazing animals I have ever seen. I love them! I started liking them two years ago. I begged for a year for a horse and got sassy for my birthday. I will turn 12 this year and I got sassy on my 11th birthday. Her name describes her perfectly! No joke! But I still love her:)
I hope one day to have an appendix quarter horse to jump. Why? Because I like the quarter horse's ability to do anything plus their perfect turns and stops and I like the thoroughbred's speed and friskiness.
Well that's why I like horses. Ta ta ;)
