When I was a child growing up in a small town called Grande Cache, my friends and I would walk to the horse barns and admire all of the horses there. We would stay there for hours petting them and wishing one day we would own our own. Fast forward 20 years or so. I was so excited when I found the Clear Water Horse Club here in Fort McMurray! My daughter and I would go there and spend hours petting and walking around. I still dreamt of having a horse and learning all about them, one of the horse owners there told us about the 4H club, and I immediately contacted the 4H leader, to enroll my daughter. We had to wait a year because she was only 8 years old and you had to be 9.
Here are our first few trips there.
When my daughter turned 11 and was in the 4H for a couple of years I promised her when she turned 15 that I would get her a horse, but secretly it was going to be my horse too. Sssshhhhh, don't tell her!
When she turned 15, which seemed like a hot minute. We shopped around, found our horse, and found a few that were great but not what we were looking for.
We found 'Who's Mr. Oz,' and we call him Ozzy. He is special to us and he is our most amazing animal to date. He is a smaller horse in the horse world at 14.3 hands and he is perfect for us! We love him so much! As you can see he is no giant but he is a giant in our hearts.
Here is Ozzy and my daughter
