Ginger

Ginger and I first met at a horse auction, she was described as a strawberry roan a gentle nature with a three-legged gait, creating a bumpy ride because of this trait. I learned to ride with Ginger hours at a time, we were in cinque with leg commands, she was not a fast quarter horse, what a relief as she plodded the course. Many years and miles passed along, I remember my first horse with pride, she was Ginger with an even soul, who taught me to ride on the whole.
