This is my boy Samwise Gamgee (Sam). He is a 9 year old Quarter Horse mix and is about as endearing as his namesake. ;) I adopted him about a month ago from a local horse rescue. He had been a neglect case but despite everything he shows a super willing attitude and loves to be around people. I had went to the rescue looking at a completely different horse and ended up trying him out and we just clicked. Within a half circle of getting on him I was smiling. He is considered fairly green still and he is learning new things such as neck reining and moving the shoulders but he does have the potential as a little reining horse.
His best quality: He adores attention and likes to greet me at the fence when I come home from work.
His worst quality: He sometimes uses his very smart brain against people for example making people think he's blind. :)
His likes: Soft rubs, bathes, and any attention you give him.
His dislikes: The rain... I know, it doesn't make since he loves bathes.
He is proving himself to be great calm and steady guy as I have been playing with him quite a bit since I've had him. Nothing to crazy ya know....just vaulting on and off him, standing on him, and riding double...completely normal stuff. ;) He's taken all like a champ so far and I can't wait to turn him into great little trick horse.
Now I must share this story about Sam. When I adopted Sam his original name was Abe just to clarify so this story will make sense! When I brought Sam home I played the perfect trick on one of my dear friends who I went to equestrian college with, in Oregon. Here are the screenshots from our conversation:
