Logan's story

Logan is a mare, a very pretty grey Trekanher mare that has given us our share fair of "problems" but we love her anyway. She's Kate's, she will eventually move to the ranch but she's lived here at the farm since last October or November (I can't recall which). We found Logan through a message board, specifically Kate found Logan and we took her home shortly after that. She was a young woman's horse that had gone off to college, her mom could no longer care for Logan so...not sure if you see the theme here ;-)

When Logan first came she gave everyone hell, she about kicked Kate in the head once, has broken more walls than anything I've ever seen, broke the chicken coop and generally made enemies with Charlie and Perris both right away. She hurt Charlie once, he was lame for a good three weeks after that.

She's calmed down a lot since then however she still kicks the hell out of the barn when she goes into season which really is great fun to deal with! I feel sorry for the old gal cause she has to be in some pain to react as she does, pushing into the fence posts, kicking out at the walls....

Today, as we speak (if you will), she is a LOT better. Her and Perris are great friends, she and the boys get along too. She really took a shine to Patch when he came home and well Tex...she thinks he can "help" her in her time of need (he can't) so there is a different relationship there.

When Justin was here he rode Logan, he thinks Logan is GRRRRREAT and she really is, she is one that needs either a kid or a very strong minded person to get her to pay attention. She seems to respect the kids and challenge the adults but once she knows you she's good as gold really (except for the in season thing).

She went through some rough patches too, she sat for a good couple years, she was in a poorly fit saddle for years...she has it pretty good here and it shows.

It's gonna be sad when she leaves, I am kinda used to repairing the damage that ensues when she is feeling pissy :-) And as much a pain in the ass as she can be I do love the old gal!

It's nice to see her happy with her friends and it was equally nice to see her respond to Justin as she did. She deserves to be a happy happy horse and I think I can safely say that is the case now!
