I've been riding horses since I was knee high to a gate post - that's me above at our old ranch, the Raetzsch Ranch in the Sand Hills near Seguin, Texas
This is me on my old friend, gelding Shamar, a registered Half Arabian with 3/4 Arabian blood with thoroughbred and quarter horse thrown in for good measure. I bought him at 6 years old in 1978 from the Dallas area. He lived to be 36 years old, going to greener pastures in the Fall of 2008 serving his last years at Equibloom therapeutic riding in Manor, TX. I taught him to drive, side pass and shoulder in. A kind spirit and great mount who will live forever in my heart.
