Orion
#219
Bay Morab Gelding. Strip.
Snip. Appx. 8 yrs. old. Appx. 14.3 hands. This
little guy rides well but would require an experienced rider as
he has a
lot of juice.
Update 2-12-01
- This boy traveled to his new home on Sunday. Orion (His new
name) joined his traveling companion and now stablemate, Belatorie
in a trailer ride home! Dana, proud new mom of Belatorie volunteered
at the TIER booth for the Equine Affaire. When it was time to
go home, she not only took her lovely gray TB mare Belatorie,
but she picked up Orion (prounounced O-Ryan) for his new mom Kelly
C. Dana and Kelly have helped several other horses to find new
homes. Dana and her companion Sandy finished their volunteer commitment
early Sunday morning, picked up Orion and Belatorie and headed
home. When the kids got home they were turned out to work out
the kinks and meet some of their new neighbors!
Thanks so
much Dana, Sandy & Kelly!!!!
Update 2-13-00
- Just a quicky update. I just couldn't help myself! I had to
hop on both Orion and Tori last night. They are AWESOME! I rode
both of them in
nothing but halters and lead ropes! Orion is LAZY! He thinks there
is just no reason on earth to do anything at a speed faster then
a walk. Tori is an absolute doll and has lots of energy. She seems
like she knows a lot and I can't wait to truly ride her and see
what she knows! I will let them settle in now and won't do any
additional riding for a little while. Orion should be ready soon.
Tori I am going to give more time to since she really needs some
more weight! I'll let you know when I ride them for real! Thanks
Gail! It sure was neat to meet you and Blair and to talk to you
guys! Sandy and I had a blast and can't wait to do it again!!!!
Try to plan for March 30 - April 1st for Cabby's first 3-day!!!!
Dana
TIER - Dana
& Sandy volunteered at the TIER booth during the Equine Affaire
Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday. They then picked up Tori
& Orion and
took them to their new home. They came bearing gifts.............TIER
is the proud recipient of Cabby's First Blue Ribbon! (He won 5
in his first show!!!) I'll have pictures of the ribbon up soon.
And somebody thought just enough of Cabby to throw him away? Just
shows that one person's trash, is another's treasure. Cabby, Tess,
Tori, Orion..........all are living, breathing, loving treasures!
Just like all horses!
Update
5/4/02 - Orion has been doing fantastic with Kelly. We have
been working with him and training him. He's still rather green,
but is such a quite and level headed little guy that green or
not, Kelly has no problem riding him. We have a goal of Kelly's
first trail ride with him this summer. He's such a sweety and
cutie!
Update
3/16/03 - Orion is doing great! He has turned into quite the
little Dressage pony! He is such a good boy and we are even starting
to use him for our beginner, never ridden before, kids. He has
turned into the favorite school pony! All the little girls just
love him! Whenever they come out for lessons we give them a choice
of what horse to ride and 99% of the time it is Orion! Of course,
we only let him be used once a day so sometimes the little girls
don't get their first choice!
Orion is happy
and well behaved. He thinks jumping is something to be left to
the bigger horses and he just isn't ever going to be great at
it, well, maybe not even good at it. But he loves Dressage, beginners
and trails! Here are some pictures of him taken a couple weeks
ago. Thanks Gail!
