Bubba

The Likit I bought him at Equine Affaire did not last long…(above)

I fell in love with Bubba at first sight, when he was 2 years old. Bubba is one of those GREAT horses, that was born great, lives large, and is revered by everyone who knows him. His persona matches his size. Unfortunately for the great horsemen out there, but fortunately for me, Bubba was born with “large foal syndrome”; his hocks are slightly crunched from standing up before his legs were ready to bear his large frame. This does not prevent Bubba from doing anything, but if he were not compromised it would be hard to justify having such a GREAT horse spending his lifetime just being mine…

Bubba has been my partner for the past 10+ years. We do low level dressage, eventing, love to trail ride with the dog, and we compete in extreme trail competitions (locally). It’s entertaining to my friends to see this big 17h tank fit though all the obstacles!! But he loves it, and his curious, confident nature makes him a natural pro at competition.

Bubba is a rock. He is solid, comfortable, and now after all my years of fabulous lessons on him, and Pony Club rallies—he is a schoolmaster. He just began lessons this fall, and he was instantly a barn favorite. Bubba loves to be a star, and I have been enjoying teaching on him recently after being on his back for all these years...
