Horse Info: Buddy is a 17 year old Quarterhorse/Morgan cross gelding. He is blind in one eye due to an injury before I got him. But he is such a sweetheart! He is a great trail horse but due to his blindness has a depth preception problem. He was afraid to cross water but we have overcome that and he will now cross streams, etc. Opening gates on his blind side was also an issue but he now opens and holds them for other horses! We have ridden all over California and into Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and Utah. He is great in the trailer and loves to camp. Always willing and able to haul me around and up over the next mountain! In the past Buddy and I competed in Gymkhana and he earned us two state buckles! He has no idea he is blind in one eye!

In spring and summer I do as much camping and trail riding as possible and have a blast! During that time my husband and I are like "ships passing in the night"! I will be home for maybe a week and then gone again. He's a good sport about it and understands my passion for riding!
