Time with Fred

So a recently purchased a new horse. He is an almost 3 year old Oldenburg. The training process begins since he has not been broke to ride yet. I bought him sight unseen based on his breeding. He is out of a Stallion named Sinatra Song, (http://www.hphanoverians.com/sinatrasong_files/firstday.jpg), a horse known for his movement and temperament that he passes on to his offspring. I gave him the barn name of Frederik after my favorite children's book. His registered name is Sentimental Journey...to go with his sire's name and because this is somewhat of a Sentimental Journey for me. I call him Fred for short since that was my dad's middle name. I spent all of my horse years with my dad. This is the first horse I have owned since he passed away. I am blessed that I had the journey I had with my dad and our horses when he was alive.  They are some of the best memories I have. I am thankful he introduced me to horses since they have enriched my life in so many ways.
So my blog will now become filled with my new Journey...the process of training Fred...and the lessons learned along the way!
