Khari Completes her first 100!

Khari & her rider~

 February, 2016  Update~  Mohammad plans to retire Khari & will be looking  for a stallion!

I was thrilled this morning to receive an email from Mohammad with the attached photo of Khari!  This picture was taken one week after her first 100-mile ride!   I quote;  "She is a very good horse & has more to show."  Obviously - from the way she's fighting the bit - she is anxious to be off!

Seeing these photos is still something that I can't quite wrap my mind around :-)  Remembering the first time I saw her, looking forlorn & sad as a horse can look.  As we took her out, she was swee & willing.  Loading in the trailer was easy when she heard the sound of grain in a can!

Khari as we first saw her~

Once I had her home, she was thrilled to be turned out on grass.  I was looking at her pot belly, lack of condition & wondering why I'd bought her?

But...  after a few months at Dean's, she started shaping up.  Her conformation was so solid with size, substance, great legs & feet.  What I was looking for in an endurance horse.  

Sept. 05 - Khari & Evias

Over the following years, we had some incredible rides, rides I will never forget, views I will always treasure & times together where we felt as "one".  To see her now, fit, fast & happy!  Finally fulfilling the goals I had for her as a 100-mile horse is too much fun!  

I'm hopeful that Mohammad will eventually breed her & someday I'll have foal photos to post!
