A Horse--It's a Horse!

We've been looking for Brykn a new horse for a long time. We looked at old ones, we looked at young ones, we looked at reiners, we looked at ropers. We looked everywhere. And, just when I was losing hope that we would ever find something for the littel man, we found one. And by we, I mean Brandon. You know, because he's the horse trainer.

Rio is 8 years old and has had a fair amount of reining training. He's great with kids and has a really fantastic "WHOA" saftey feature built in. The horse can flat out park it! This is particularily appealing because my little Brykn has absoltutely no fear. Zero. Zippo. Zilch. Notta. None.

We actually tried Rio and Brykn rode him for a long time before we decided to buy him. Since  Rio lived at the barn where Brandon has been riding, Brykn didn't have a clue we were looking to buy Rio just for him--he just thought this was a horse he could ride while Dad was riding.




Needless to say, we bought the horse, and Brandon has been working with Rio for the last month or so. We didn't tell Brykn because we wanted it to be a big surprise. Here's the big surprise video and photos too!
