When we first moved to Tennessee, on the property we bought, were two horses. We purchased both horses and were excited about trail riding. One of the horses was a magnificent Tennessee Walking Horse.
Well about one year ago, Dick decided to be a lumberjack, cut down a tree on the property and unfortunately, the tree landed on him breaking six ribs and his right arm. His arm has never 100% healed and he absolutely cannot ride horses.
With this incident, I realized it was not fair to have the two horses and not ride them regularly. Therefore, I made the very painful decision to sell Brit. He really needed to be in a home where he was ridden regularly.
Brit is a beautiful horse and sold rather quickly to a gentleman who loves to trail ride back in the woods most weekends. Recently, we received an E-Mail from Brit’s owner and I was so touched to know that Brit was in the perfect home. Below is the E-Mail:
“I have been meaning to drop you a line & tell you about Brit .He has been the best !!! I really appreciate your honesty he is everything you said he was & more. The day after I got him we rode 25-28 miles on some of the roughest trails I have ever been on at Circle E Ranch . He was hot as a pistol in the beginning but he settled down quickly & was great! We bonded that day & he does everything I ask of him . I have ridden him 100’s of miles - every weekend that the sun shines since. He is fed oats & grain daily plus bermuda hay when in the stall & I keep a round bale of hay in the pasture constantly & he has 3 horse companions& 3 donkeys to keep him company! My friend that rode with me at Circle E & other trail rides said that it was a 1& million shot at getting a great horse like Brit the way I did & constantly tries to buy him from me but HE ISN’T FOR SALE !!!!!! Everywhere I go someone offers me more money for him but I don’t think I could find another horse like him - thank you so much if every one was as honest as you buying a horse would be easier than it is & I assure you Brit will have the best care money can buy & a constant companion that he truly deserves . “
WOW, this sure warms my heart!

Hi,
I read your website regularly but I don’t think I’ve ever commented. I know this post was a while ago, but I wanted to comment anyway. I’m so glad you found a good home for your Brit. I’m a horse lover and rider myself and there is nothing like honesty when parting with or buying one of these beautiful creatures. Horses are unique and they, like humans, all have their own personalities and traits, strengths, weaknesses, and habits.
I love your website, both of your posts are so motivational to me. Keep up the good work!

Hello Audrey,
Thank you for your great comment. All of our animals are precious to us. An ideal home is our first priority and we are so pleased when others also cherish these kind, wonderful creatures and provide a great home.
