I couldn't get the new pictures of Moxie to come up.......hey mine is not to wonder why. I told you I am not a computer genius and if that little demon wants my pics. he can have them. So instead I am going to show you some pics. of my old guy. His name is Texas, sorry he's so dirty winter blas and all that also he didn't know he was going to to be posing all over the Internet. Anyhow this is my boy. I have had him since he was 3 did 99%of his training myself and he is now 31 not bad for an old boy huh!!!This horse has been called a lot of not so nice names some of them even uttered by me. In spite of his few falls from grace and I do mean few, he is the best horse I have ever owned or ridden. He will ....well would and I'm sure hewould still try to do whatever was asked of him.
He could out walk anything riding with him
and outwork most horses all day long.
I don't think he even makes horse stature.
He can cut and sort cattle .....climb up and down mountains Team pen .
On a dare because some one said he wouldn't do it I entered him in a trail class they were trying out for the BC summer games. He finished 3rd out of 40, now you have to understand the other 39 horses did nothing but trail classes not real trails but arena trails. We had never done that kind of stuff so it was pretty much new to Tex. If there are any trail class riders out there please don't take offense but man they go sooooooooo sloooooooow, Texas breezed through the course and headed for the out gate he did most of the obstacles at a lope. The lady operating the gate said if it had been a timed event we just won. No suprise there Tex spent a great deal of his life doing one timed event or another. Anyhow he is now a retired old gentleman. I'm sure I will never come across another one like him. And I see I lost a couple of pictures along the way...oh well I can live with it. Later. PS. I added another link in sites of interest. DDS Morgans. If you are looking for a Morgan Dan has some quite lovely and talented stock for sale or even if you just like to cruise websites he has some nice photos. Now I'm really gone.

I love his little fox ears. Betcha he's a Quarter Horse that never got registered because of his cremello colour, which used to be not allowed in the AQHA. It is now!
I love his ears too, I always thought he might have a bit of Morgan in him, that's what their ears are supposed to look like and in his younger days when he would get all proud of himself he does the Morgan stretch. I have had a few people see him do that and the comments were all the same - Can't tell you what he is but he has some good breeding. Color is a funny thing.At one time he wouldn't even be considered a color most people referred to him as white.....not. He isn't really Cremello either. he has a blaze and one white sock go figure.....anyhow none of that made him a good horse. He could be Quarter when he was young he looked like he could be?????
