Cassie

Age: 18

Hello , I write to you about a special horse that should receive some special recognition.
    Cassie was caught in the state of Arizona . She was caught fairly easily, as she has a temperament of a lamb. The owner who won her in an auction tried to break her, but her temper was shown through a rough version of breaking in. She was then left alone, but brushed, fed and watered daily. Just not ridden or exercised. Next, her owner had enough of her and sent her to the slaughterhouse. Next 2 days of her life were most likely terrifying for her. Then I came and saved her. I spent 3-5 months re-habilitating and breaking her in again. She now is the sweetest, most loved mare you could ever know. Most people think when they see a mustang , they should get out of there. But with her , you may let a little 3yr old climb all over her , pet all over her and she will just stand there happily snuffing and snorting at them. She has trained me in ways most horses couldn't. She loves me and I love her. That shall never change. I train her now for jumping and barrel racing, she is lovable, and the fastest thing on four legs I’ve ever trained. I’m thinking about turning her into a brood mare when she retires from her job. I might just think about that. But for now , she is a competitor. I can't think of a better horse. Although I have my moments, she's with me all the way. I love her in ways  words cannot describe.
Cassie is residing in her pasture, waiting for me to come and love her so , I must leave to tend to her.

  So with that I say goodbye.
    If you have questions, have no fear to W-mail me , I’m Dasher with Flux! Thanks!
