Isabel

Hello,


This is my lease mare, Isabel.  I call her Izzybel usually.  She is a cute, fat, tobiano, American Warmblood.   I ride her 2 days a week in the school year, and 4 days in the summer.  We jump together and do dressage and trails.  She is lazy, but loves being ridden since she is the center of attention.

I have never done a show with her.  I was supposed to earlier this year, but unfortunately the day before the show I fractured my ankle in a soccer accident.

Isabel lives in the pasture.  She loves it there.  She is the leader of her herd.  I'm glad she has a good time there, but she always goes to the bottom of the pasture and wallows in a muddy stream. LOL

Isabel is very docile.  She lets me curry her everywhere and does not bloat when I tighten her girth.  She does not spook at rustling in the bushes or squirrels scurrying across the road.  The only things she is scared of are barrels, and the occasional trail rider.

I wish I could buy Isabel.  She is one of a kind.

Todays Question:  Is neoprene for horse boots good or bad?  Neoprene absorbs shock, but does not breathe, keeping moisture trapped on the horse's leg, making it easier for it to slip.  There is no right or wrong answer.  Comment to broadcast your answer.

Thanks for reading!
