We bought Sebastian on July 1, 2004 Enjoy our "The First Few Days" |
|

First the horse was shown to us by Karen. She displayed all the training and skills Sebastian has, including the reining he was taught.

June 30, 2004 Justin rides during our "showing" appointment. He says "That's a smooth ride!"

Sasha has a turn as well.

|

Our kids went through walk, trot & canter with Sebastian. They both wanted him. We went home to think about it.

July 1, 2004 Sebastian meets Grammy We decided to purchase Sebastian for our children.
They were so excited to finally own their own horse!
We brought Grammy to the stable to show her him.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We were not too thrilled to discover that Sebastian was kicked in the face yesterday after we were shown him by a mean and nasty pony who left their stable today.
It took awhile for his pretty face to heal.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Justin rides in the indoor arena but it is too dark in there to take photos.
|
|
|
|
|

Justin is 13 years old.

|
 |
Sasha pretends she is in a grand parade!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha prefers to ride outdoors but there is not fence around this area.
|
|
|

|
Justin has gone to Florida for vacation so Sasha has Sebastian all to herself.
