I had 21 wonderful years with Mozart; they were magical with he and Tango teaching me so much. I did realize that what I was grieving for was the future we would not have. And I wondered how I could ever find a horse who was Mozart's rightful successor. I do believe Mozart had it all planned out. Because I started to look at just the right time. He led me to thru numerous websites and finally to a link that had a picture of a Hanoverian out of top bloodlines. There mom, that's my successor! Weltcom was a show jumper and then did well in dressage tests. I find it magical how he fits in so incredibly well with our family. He and Tango bonded immediately and are best of friends. And he is calm and patient with me and so very willing to dance when I "get it right".
I know what you mean about the affording lessons. I solved that by marrying my trainer! We bought of farm in upstate New York and bred Andalusian stallions to Thoroughbred mares. We bred Tango which makes him really special.
Horses really are the most wonderful of God's creatures!
Best of luck with your mare!
Your question made me think of our 2 stallions. Their personalities and temperaments were as different as night & day. Tesoro had very much an "I'm Tesoro, who the hell are you" attitude. Descartos was the absolute opposite. We picked our Thoroughbred mares based on conformation to maintain the natural balance the Andalusians seem to have. I do know Tango has a wonderful natural balance. I honestly liked the personalities of all our horses, everyone different, everyone teaching me something new.Do you like their personalities?

My horses seem to have complimentary personalities and attitudes - Tango is very "aware" of all that is going on while Weltcom is relaxed and laid back. Together they keep me focused!
I like to do that sometimes. Nothing wrong with it if you enjoy it.
That's me and my show horse Just Reward, affectionately known as Casey. He was absolutely wonderful, always taking care of me. We showed in hunter classes, did some one day events, some dressage tests, we did hunter paces and went on 2 hunts. The land where I live isn't well suited for hunting however on the first hunt the dogs got the scent but the master couldn't get his horse over the chicken coop fence. Since the hounds were on the scent we could follow them anyway - over the coop down the lane across the stream over the fence. It was a wonderful run especially hearing the dogs baying and seeing all the red coats. Was a long time ago but I remember it like yesterday!
I did walk the cross country course at Badminton and realized just how big and "sturdy" the jumps were - um, not for me. The one day events were more my speed. And I really wanted to do jumpers. Now I'm just focused on understanding all the details of "the basics". My trainer made me realize that if you don't have them right then you will end up making mistakes in the bigger endeavors.
Funny how some people prefer mares and others geldings/stallions. For me, I know it is their temperaments when they come into season. Not that all mares show a difference. And my dear Mozart was a breeding stallion for 10 years so when mares were in season he was very aware of it!

I also play the piano, but I don't have the motor skills to be any good at it, so I don't really count it.
It's not really about being good at things. It's about enjoying things.![]()
