Dallas

The sun agreed to co-operate on the beautiful fall day that I photographed Skip's Norse Nugget, AKA Dallas. This striking 15.3 hh dun Quarter Horse is owned by Susan and resides in Simcoe county, Ontario. At 11 years old, Dallas likes lots of attention and enjoys exploring the trails of Copeland forest. He loves to be bathed when they get home, however he will run inside at the first drop of rain.

Susan rides Dallas Western, you can see a picture of her well-loved saddle on my blog, as well as some other photos of our trail ride together. Dallas is a very kind and gentle horse. He has been with his owner for the past 7 years and has proven to be a very willing and dependable trail horse. Over the past few years Susan has met many new friends on the trails with him. Susan and Dallas are just wrapping up 150 hours of riding this season to meet the requirements for Level 2 of the Ride Ontario program through the OEF. Dallas will surely enjoy some time off this winter after all his hard work this year.

Congratulations to Dallas for being our January 1st, 2007 Horse of the Week!
