Description I'm sure some of you might have noticed me being unactive again. I promise I wasn't trying to to rude at all. I have a new responsibility now and he's quite time consuming, that's all

This is my baby boy Clay! I adopted him about 2 months ago from a rescue called the Saddlebred Rescue in NJ. He's officially mine! He really is a dream come true and I can't get enough of him. I'm up at the barn nearly all my spare time cleaning, riding, grooming, feeding, and all that fun stuff! He's a wonderful trail horse and I'm planning to show him this summer (nothin fancy, just 4H and such). Right now I've got a little makeshift ring of the field since the real one isn't finished yet. Right now my goal is getting him back in shape, he's not near as muscly as he should be and gets tired after a few rounds of canter, but is improving everyday!
(oh, and on a side note, im one handed cause my strap fell down and im trying to fix it while going down hill, thats why i look funny lol)

Clay is a 15 year old saddlebred arab and was used in Lancaster most of his life as an amish buggy horse until he was hit by a car. He was dumped off at an auction where he was bought by a killbuyer. Luckily, the Saddlebred Rescue came along and saved him! He was adopted out several times before but returned each time by no fault of his own (lucky for me hehe). He still has a big ol' bump on his front right shin and dent in his hoof but it's just cosmetic. He's a good boy and gives all my many little cousins and nieces horse rides and of course has been spoiled every single day.

Yup! I'm done ranting for now I'm sorry I've been slow on the art and and rps, I'm getting to that as soon as I'm done this. Also a big thanks to all who commissioned me to help raise money for this guy! ^_^

Very cool, i live near lancaster and i see lots of saddlebreds being very overworked. I also see plenty of injured ones at the very auction he was saved from! It's called the New Holland Auction and I go every monday.

I'm so glad to see he has such a good home now.

My horse had to be brought up back to shape after a bad stable. My trainer and I did alot of trotting and extending it and slowing it down, also alot of transitions for his butt muscles.

Idk if you wanted help but My horse is fit as a fiddle now.

Aww, you two look so good together. And jeez, that guy sure has gone through a lot! I bet he's enjoying his time with you, though.
That must be so much fun- just getting to ride him whenever you want. I don't have a horse of my own yet (I'm trying to convince my parents to get me this one horse), but I sure hope I'll get one in the near future!

I have the same bra strap dilemma! XD I just wear a sports bra over the top, and put the straps under to hold them up.
