This Beau, our horse. One of Melissa’s friends from the homeschooling co-op had him and was looking for a new home for him, so we (we being the kids) said – with much glee – “We’ll take him!”
Beau is pretty tall. His shoulders are about 5′ tall, which horse people tell me is somewhere around 17 hands high. (I’m still learning all of this stuff. After all, I’ve only been a horse person for about 18 hours now.)
I have no idea about his heritage or breed, but we know he loves to go for rides. And, since he came with a bridle, lead, and saddle, we’re nearly set. We’ll be sure to post pictures of the kids roaming around the property on Beau.
