Gracie and "Bill"

Sadly, Gracie's horse Shadow is too lame to ride this spring so this is her new horse "Billy", or "William" or "Welhelm", depending on which discipline she's riding! Bill is a versatile Western or English horse. He's a 12 year-old Paint with two blue eyes. Gracie also came home with two ribbons from the Colby Creek Hunter/Jumper show, a pretty impressive feat considering the competition and the fact that she's only had him about two weeks! Bill is a big boy and Gracie had her first "ground test" on him (fell off) this weekend. She swears the big bruise on her butt doesn't hurt a bit! Yeah...right.
