Melody

Located in the Seattle area, A Mystic Melody (Mystic Jamaal x Opus One+ daughter) was professionally trained and shown as a young horse at Scottsdale in both reining and hunter pleasure, and could be tuned back up for those disciplines, ranch riding, or..? We got her two years ago for my now 12yo daughter after she’d been standing around unused for several years. With us, she’s done 4H in a variety of events including ba****ck, showmanship, hunter pleasure, jumping and gaming, as well as doing saddle club (gaming), ETS (Equine Trail Sports), and trail riding. Has jumped courses and schooled 2’6 at home! 15 hands, sound and healthy, UTD on vaxx, deworming, feet, and teeth. Good for vet, farrier, clipping, hauling, bathing, blanketing, tidy in her stall and easy on fences, etc. Take her somewhere new and she gets down to work after a little warmup, not generally spooky, just an occasional jump in place or short startle forward. She needs a confident rider because she will occasionally throw a buck or get excited/hot, but nothing my daughter hasn’t been able to handle. No gate or ring sourness, goes in solo or rides with a group, but does tend to not like other horses until she gets to know them. Not necessarily kicky, but swings her butt and puts her ears back. Likes people, always easy to catch. Good on trails, goes through/over everything including mud and water, but if not consistently trail ridden can get hot/prancy (not barn sour). Could do endurance as well! Zero maintenance but has been enjoying occasional PEMF and chiropractic sessions to keep her feeling her best. Have PPE results from two years ago I’m happy to share. My daughter sadly wants to focus on gaming and get a QH like her friends, but Melody has a lot of years left to be enjoyed! Not in a rush to sell, we just want to find her the best match and hopefully a forever home. Have tons more pictures and video of her I can share to interested parties.

This is overdue, but we wanted to pay tribute to our family pony, Christopher Robin, who passed away back in May.
Christopher joined our family in 2017, not long before we moved to our current home in Hobart. My mother in law, Chris, had somehow been gifted this approximately 23-year-old old pony in fall of 2015, and she thought he’d be good for when grandkids came to visit. His history was a bit spotty, supposedly having been found horrifically tied to a tree as a young horse by a jumping trainer. She trained him to be a very successful eventing pony, so that became his career for a long time, bringing joy and competition success to countless young riders. The family who gave him to my MIL had had their daughter grow up, and with him being older, wanted to find him a good semi-retirement home. When the grandkids weren’t riding him much at her home down in Bend and we were still searching for the perfect pony for our oldest child Iliana, who really needed a confidence builder, she offered him to us. We took him, offered him to the lesson barn we were at in exchange for lessons, and when we couldn’t agree to lease terms, brought him home. He was safe but ornery, hard to catch and could be difficult for the vet and near impossible to deworm. He would “root” at his rider’s hands, pulling them forward in the saddle, amongst other minor irritating habits. He loved mares, even mounting my mare Tango one day at pasture early in his time with us. This was especially amusing considering he’d had cancer in his man bits long ago and didn’t even have the equipment anymore! But he was safe and forgiving, things Ili needed. She started trail riding with me, and he rarely spooked, was sure-footed, and cheerfully trekked down the trails. Her confidence grew and grew, and we had many adventures on him. Our other children rode him, their friends rode him, he went to 4H shows, dressed up for Halloween, and so on. He became easier to catch as he realized he had a pretty good gig with us! Ili wanted to know what he was, so when DNA tested, he came up as Tennessee Walker, Quarter Horse/pony and Criollo. He did have kind of a swinging, fast, comfortable walk, so the TWH made sense. His last trail ride was probably two years ago, though he’d still do the occasional pony ride for visitors. He loved to roll in the creek near us, with or without a rider, something I wish he could’ve done his last day. He was getting thin and hard to keep weight on, and occasionally would get a bit stiff in one of his legs, likely from arthritis, plus was having a harder time getting up when lying down. The day he died, Ili and I were three hours away showing our horse Camie. Josh face timed me at breakfast time, showing Christopher lying down on his sternum in his stall. Not completely, but somewhat unusual. He said Christopher was getting up but constantly lying back down. Very unusual. We knew this was the day we’d joked about coming (because he was ancient), yet were dreading. I had him put Christopher out in the house pasture with his two favorite ladies, Tango and Pixie. The vet was coming for another horse that afternoon, so I talked to her about Christopher. When she saw him, she agreed he wasn’t doing well, not sick exactly, but tired and just done. Ili and I weren’t able to say goodbye, which was so hard for us both 😔
At age 34, Christopher went sleep for the last time with Josh and his lady friends by his side after a beautiful day in the sun-dappled grass. I take much comfort in that he lived an incredible life, brought joy to so many, and he enjoyed a comfortable and quiet retirement, a gift many horses do not receive. Thank you, Christopher Robin, for your friendship and service; we called you “Christopher the wonder pony” because you were truly a wonderful pony💔

Here’s our handsome boy by the legendary PA Kid Khan out of our gorgeous black Baha AA daughter! He just got a light start and is back home now. He was 15.1 now before he turned two and is 15.2 now, so should top out 15.3 - 16 hands 😳
Edit: he is available, but if he stays with me, he’ll go to training in the spring and bring my hunter horse ☺️

Here’s my chunky 3yo purebred Arabian filly “Dream” or FHR Najeebs Lastdream. I should’ve taken a picture of her from the front, because she’s built like a tank 😆 We are working toward getting under saddle, so I’d hosed her off here.

I’ve been slacking lately with posts so I’m trying to play catchup! On February 26th, we got what I’ve been trying to produce for four years - a beautiful black filly! Her barn name is Pepper - because she’s spicy and black 😆 By National Top Ten Champion Stallion Avatar AT out of the lovely MLP Nightingale Rose (Baha AA x OFW Shaquanna Rose by Gazal Al Shaqab) ❤️

Here’s our handsome c**t FHR Dark Night (Batman) at almost 18 months. He’s looking less gawky and I wanted to get some pics/video before he hairs up for winter ☺️
