Sway

This is Sway. A (soon to be registered quarter horse) weanling filly that has taken Muddy's place in our lives.

Muddy was not able to convince his trainer that he would make a suitable and safe riding horse for our family. So he has been kindly accepted back to his original home where they will work with, evaluate and decide what his future is to hold. We are hoping and praying he'll come around and make someone (maybe a mountain riding cowboy) a great strong horse.

In place of him, they traded us for this little weanling filly. She is very cute and has quite an interesting demeanor. Not much really riles her and she seems to take life as it comes.
Every now and again she'll attempt to assert herself but with our gentle, passive resistance, she quickly settles and does what is asked of her. We expect to have a lot of fun with her over the winter and as she grows throughout next summer. Won't be riding her for a long time yet, but that is good for me as I'll be busy with Wiliam when he arrives!
