| OUR SON , HER NAME IS "WHITNEY" |
THIS IS WHITNEY , SHE IS BLAKE 'S HORSE ! SHE IS THE BABYSITTER OF THE FAMILY WHETHER IT IS BABY SITTING A NEW FOAL , OR A CHILD! SHE DOES IT ALL GOOD! SHE IS A TRUST WORTHY TRAIL HORSE ,WITH A TROT YOU CAN RIDE SITTING DOWN ( WE THINK SHE IS A QUARTER /PASO MIX) ! I BOUGHT HER FOR OUR SONS FIFTH BIRTHDAY , HE STILL SAYS SHE IS THE BEST PRESENT EVER ( EVEN THOUGH HE IS GOING ON 9 YRO NOW) !
WHITNEY AND I HAD A ORDEAL THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN 2000 , WE WENT TRAIL RIDING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF LAMBSBURG VA ! WE WENT THROUGH SOME TRAILS THAT WERE UNFIT FOR A MOUNTAIN GOAT LITTLE ALONG A HORSE ! WELL TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT WE APPROACHED A PART OF THE TRAIL THAT WAS STRAIGHT DOWN ON ONE SIDE AND STRAIGHT UP ON THE OTHER , AND THE TRAIL WAS BARLY WIDE ENOUGH TO WALK ON AND VERY STEEP , WELL WHITNEY STUMBLED AND WENT DOWN ON HER KNEES , I TRYED TO KEEP CALM , KNOWING IF I DISMOUNTED I WOULD THROW HER OFF BALANCE AND WE BOTH WOULD FALL DOWN THE CLIFF , I GENTLY URGED WHITNEY TO STAND ! SHE SLOWLY GOT TO HER FEET , WE PROCEEDED UP THE TRAIL A WAYS WHERE IT WAS WIDE ENOUGH FOR ME TO DISMOUNT ! WHEN I GOT OFF I DISCOVERED THAT WHITNEY HAD BANGED HER KNEES UP GOOD AND THEY WERE CUT ! I REFUSED TO RIDE BACK DOWN , SO THE WHOLE GROUP DISMOUNTED AND LED THEIR HORSES DOWN THE MOUNTIAN WITH WHITNEY AND I ! I THANKED GOD FOR WHITNEY , HER STRENGTH AND WILLINGNESS SAVED OUR LIVES THAT DAY ! IT HAD ENTERED MY MIND ON THE WAY DOWN THE MOUNTAIN , WHITNEY HAD BENT HER HEAD AROUND TO GENTLY NUDGE MY LEG AS IF TO SEE THAT I WAS OK , BEFORE SHE STOOD TO HER FEET ON THE SIDE OF THAT CLIFF! THAT CARING ATTITUDE IS WHAT I HAD IN MIND WHEN I BOUGHT HER FOR BLAKE , SHE IS TRULEY A BLESSING TO US ALL HERE AT TRIPLE B STABLES!
