Aww, you guys break my heart. My horse was just like a big dog, he would even fetch and was "house"broken...he was my besssst bud.
Although, it wasn't such a good experience for the neighborhood kid when i took him for his first ride...I hadn't tightened the saddle enough, and as we were riding, it slooooowly rotated around as my horse went along, and deposited us on the ground. Rusty just stopped and looked at us like "you idiots, what are you doing down there? "
