Oh, wait...Is her name really Deville? You gotta get rid of that! Change it to something nice and easy. I'm not kidding. Angel? Marshmallow? Sweetie? Walker?

I suppose I could call her Spot. :-) She's a black&white walker. Her registered name is Cruella Deville. I didn't get to ride her when I picked her up because of the down pour, but I have plans for her on Saturday. We are going to try the rails to trail in Farmersville. I've never been there before, but I'm told it will be dry enough to ride. Tom says she has a wonderful solid gait. Can't wait.

I got to ride Deville on Saturday at the rail to trails in Farmersville on Saturday. She did great!!! She was calm, and well behaved. A dog came out from the bushes behind us, and she just scooted a little bit. Before, she would have done a 180. She is real smooth,responsive and gives to the the bit with just a touch of the reins. I was able to gait with her with just finger tip pressure on the reins. Hopefully it will stick, time will tell, but at least we are on our way to having a real nice trail horse now. Tom did a great job with her. -Betty
