I'm sure it's been many more than that!<br />And, Denali, Ruby is all the way in Chicago, so it's almost like having my own horse. The only bad part is he will be leaving me eventually, and then my little heart will break (like it always does when I have to say goodbye to a beloved animal).Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-39706558061007561432010-02-28T10:53:44.957-05:002010-02-28T10:53:44.957-05:00That's a cool situation for you!

I honestly have no idea how big she is,I've never measured her. She comes a little bit above my shoulder and I'm 6ft tall. Lol, I'm too cheap to buy a stick. I guess around 16 and I think that's big!Brooke (FBX Adventures - In Parenting) https://www.blogger.com/profile/17040183680228006616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-16522269767740324482010-02-28T01:56:57.548-05:002010-02-28T01:56:57.548-05:00Denali,

That's the way I've always done it, which I'm sure is one of the reasons she's so comfortable having him here with me. Ruby is in her late 50s, so it's my job to "ride the green" out of Salem. He's already been here for almost 5 months and I feel like we haven't made as much progress as I would like -- but that's the way horses are!<br />As far as how the situation works, Ruby pays for Salem's board, hoof trimming, and vet. I pay for all the extras (paddock stall, extra hay, treats, supplements, massages, etc.). Yeah, he's spoiled!<br />And, yep, he was advertised as 17 hands; I swear he's a shade under, but everyone else thinks he's a true 17h. Everyone is always saying, "He's so HUGE!" But, to me, he's just a regular sized horse. I've ridden 18 warmbloods, so it's pretty ho-hum for me.Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-40917555268552406692010-02-28T01:03:12.368-05:002010-02-28T01:03:12.368-05:00Random Questions.

I've had that happen with Izzy lately, and she and Salem seem to share some interesting traits.
