February 14, 2005 Hi Fredericka, It was so great to become part of Flying W Farm's "hall of Fame". Just a little history on our journey with our wonderful horse. Megan was 11 when we made the trip to Ohio looking for a horse for her birthday present in April 2001. We had seen pictures of your horses and really felt, this was the place to go. Meg said she wanted to get a baby so she "wouldn't have to correct other people's problems". Of course Meg had her heart set on a Friesian cross since that was the "in" horse; Things changed when we were at the farm. In some ways it is so overwhelming to go there because you have so many wonderful horses , and when Robin came to meet us we said we were looking for a brown or black gelding. Of course we ended up with a gray mare! Once we saw Cherie, we didn't need to look further. Meg and Cherie really grew up together. I think the hardest part was waiting. Because Flying W Farms horses are so calm and grow so quickly it is easy to think, I can ride her now. And of course, kids are not known for their patience, but we managed and it certainly paid off.
One of the first things that impressed me is that it must have been quite an experience for Cherie that day we bought her. After loading her into our 2 horse trailer, we had an 11 hour drive in front of us. In dark rainy weather, we almost thought we had an empty trailer. She was great traveling (and still is) which was so very important since we drove through long stretches of construction and a lot of movement would have had us into the barriers.
Cherie has always been the horse that comes to the gate when you walk by. Of course that is great when you don't want to spend hours chasing a horse in the pasture just to ride. I really wasn't sure about an 11 year old training a baby, but any fears were soon shattered with Cherie's gentle nature and intelligence. They have grown and learned together. We have also been fortunate that Meg has 2 excellent instructors that have given her guidance along the way.
This year Meg will turn 15 and Cherie 5. We are looking forward to see what they can accomplish this year. It is wonderful right now to see the two of them running in the field with snow flying. I'm not sure who is having more fun.
We'll keep you posted! BJ and Meg
