How We Met

My Riding Instructor's Daughter was off at college and was dating a man who owned a large QH farm in SD. They sell amazing quarter horses there. Anyways, I was looking for my first horse and she said they were selling a 6 year old gray quarter horse gelding. (Hes actually a grade horse, but thats just because they didn't register him) I went up to see him and 2 other horses. I rode the other two first and one was an absolute NO and the other was a 3 year old quarter horse named Opi who i was deeply considering. We were meeting the guy who was selling my horse in Nebraska So kinda half way between where we both lived and it was snowing really bad so they were late. when he finally got there it was late at night and bitter cold, but i barely noticed because i was so excited. this man that we knew let us use his indoor arena to ride in because it was dark and cold outside. when the guy opened up the trailer and Dakota stepped out, he was the prettiest horse i had ever seen. and he just stood there with his head held up and breathed in the cold night air and then snorted and made frosty clouds with his breath. I just totally gasped because he was so amazing! I watched as the guy saddled him up and then we led him into the arena. it was like 40 degrees warmer in there than out side. anyways first the man rode him, and then my trainers daughter and finally it was my turn! i hopped up on him and sent him off to the other side of the arena. He was perfect! by the end of the night, we were cantering fast perfect circles and i felt like i was dreaming. Then after we had rode him, we went to a mexican resturaunt and talked the whole business side of things over. when we were done, I HAD A HORSE! i have never felt happier in my entire life. The car ride home from that was one of the best i have ever had. He arrived at our house a week later and things have been just WONDERFUl since then! Please Vote For US!.
