When I was 13 my horse Taurus was born. I got my first horse his mom Shot gun Trix( trixie). So their was a youth horsing raising project and local people who had stallions donate Stud fee and we got a mare bred by “Robin Red Star”
So for many years I rode horse in horse show.
This is Taurus when he was between 4 and 6 years old.
He and I won quite a few wards.
One year I entered him in Spokane fair and in his halter class he got reserve champion out of about 50 horses.
Confession time…the only reason I didn’t get champion that I held the lead to short and I made him travel crooked
His full name was “T Taurus Red” and he died of old age
He was a good lookin horse! I love horses. My mom won so many awards with hers... I just had some on the farm but never entered any comps.
