Aspen
Aspen was also one of my first horses at my first farm. Not a rescue. I got her to ride and to have a horse that was not green like Trigger. Aspen is beautiful and was amazing to ride. She preferred a riding ring over a trail. We had fun working in the ring, pretending to be fast, pretending we could jump our little 1 foot jumps. Anyone could ride her which allowed my family to ride as well. Aspen had the most difficult time adjusting to Virginia. As I don't ride anymore, I do believe she misses that. Vegans do not ride horses and as I don't ride anymore, more because of time, I do believe some horses love to work and Aspen is one of those horses. It took a little while but Aspen has found her comfort zone here in Virginia. After joining the rest of the boys in their field and then after we rescued Abby in March 2025, Aspen has found friends, peace, fun, and we are so happy to see her so happy. Sometimes you have to keep trying new things to give each animal everything they need to settle in.
