Danny

There comes a time when you find something you never searched for...

When you as a person realise what you really want isn't what you get...

However, when that something is found, regardles of colour, shape or size, that something connects with you...

For me that something was Danny, on 20 June 2009 I visited a stables in North Germany.  There were approximately 16 or so Gypsy Cobs, Tinkers, Irish Cobs... call them what you will.

They were all presented in front of their individual stable, after an hour or so the 10 year old Black and White Mare i was looking for was there... but then something unexplainable occured.

At the rear of the stables i spotted the smallest Tinker of them all, i slowly approached and asked the handler for the name.  She said he is called Danny a 4 year old Gelding, not Black and White but Copper Brown in colour.

I looked at him, he looked at me... the deal was done, 3 days later he was home.

So it's not what you really want in life, but who needs you and who do you need!

We had a very stormy start, me as a very very young rider, and Danny as a young horse... not the normal mix.

3 years later he has become my friend... and believe me it has taken 3 years to get this far! for me to call an animal my friend is not easy nor normal, however for a human to trust a horse is a lot easier than a horse to trust a human.

I can proudly say that our trust has grown together, and is growing daily with every new activity we undertake.

Danny and I still have a long way to go. The onward journey I will embrase with Danny and enjoy every moment, wherever the Trail may take us :-)

My Danny...
