| Senior Member | <3 My horse: Ghost & his story <3 I bought Ghost July 4, 2007 from a friend, unseen and unheard of. I was originally interested in an appy gelding but my friend (Jim) brought Ghost along because he thought I'd be interested in him more (and to tell the truth Jim wanted to sell Ghost quicker then the appy gelding). Ghost got a cataract in his left eye and made it cloudy/silvery. Don't have to go slow on that side, doesn’t bother him, wont get any worse, won't effect the other eye and he can still see out of it. This has turned a lot of people "off" from his appearance as it does tend to draw attention. Before all of this he came from a Mexican ranch rodeo so you know he is broke!!! He had been passed from owner to owner because of his eye. But there was something I loved about him automatically and he has been with me ever since. Amazingly you can hunt off this horse!! By that I mean you can hunt pigs, deer, dove, turkey and anything that has a season!! (Yes he's gun trained!) He is such a calm and easy going, no take that back BOMB PROOF. Fancy and smooth ride very level headed with curling neck. Trail rides like no other!!! You can one day go trail ride, the next go hunt some wild pigs off him and then that week end take him to a playday and get 1st and 2nd place in any event. He's worked cattle, deer, and antelope so he knows how to heard animals around. I can ride with or without spurs. I can ride bareback with a halter and 2 lead ropes. He does tricks!! I can ride him bridleless (in an arena), rears on command (in saddle), lays down, side passes beautifully, flying lead changes, and also can perform catering-side pass dressage movements. I love him so and he'll be with me to the end of his days. UPDATE: Ghost is going to be up here with me in Killeen, Tx at the LAZER RAY STABLES!!!!!! ![]() (Rearing on command) ![]() (How gentle/calm he really is) I have talked about Ghost A LOT and have never posted any recent pictures of him. Today I was too busy riding Dr. Laura's horses and since I didn't have anyone else Jason (person in photos who is also a novice rider. So don't critique on his riding TOO much. Mostly looking for critiques on my horse Ghost) could ride I let him ride Ghost and took some photos. Big <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3's and some more 's to my boy Ghost.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can see his blurry eye in thise photo |

he's gorgeous! it's hard to critique him, though, when someone is not riding him at his best. but from the description you gave, he sounds wonderful!! one thing i do have to say is, when he's rearing, don't hang on his mouth so hard with the reins. try to balance yourself without them better by grabbing mane or the saddle horn (i'd grab mane though, its a great thing to grab onto and usually doesn't go anywhere |

Would you be able to get any front, back side photos all squared up for a critique? Maybe I totally missed it, but how tall is he? Neat story on him.
