What qualities do you value in a horse?
I value a lot in a horse. I love a horse with heart. I love a tough horse that isn’t afraid. They are hard to find but once you have one they are unstoppable. I also love a horse with personality.
Mares or geldings?
This is a question I have yet to figure out ha. I started with stallions, then went to mares, and now I have 2 mares and a gelding. I miss my line up of studs, mares are so temper-mental. Geldings are hard for me because you can’t breed them and if they get hurt you are stuck with a pasture ornament. My luck I’d have 100.
Your go-to ABI Tool?
It’s hard to just pick one ABI tool. The two favorites around the farm is my arena rascal for my side by side. I work my driveway, planted grass in my pasture, work my round pen and arena dirt and it is such a quality rig. The manure spreader is my second favorite I use it once a week. It’s such an awesome tool to have around the farm and I fertilize the neighbors wheat and milo fields as well.
