Pepper the paint horse

Nine years ago I bought a paint horse and named him Pepper. He had one blue eye and one brown eye. I didn’t know then just how much I would learn from Pepper.

I’ve learned that in showing a horse, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but either way you’ve got to have fun. We had a rough start because Pepper was not completely broken, and I was an inexperienced rider. We eventually learned to trust each other and began competing at local horse shows. Today, Pepper and I have won many awards and have competed in many horse shows, barrel racing and trail events. It takes a lot of time to own a horse, and I think every minute has been worth it. Pepper is part of my family and my life would not be the same without him.
