Our first training horse did such an amazing job for his last year with us.. He put his heart and soul into rodeo even though he wasn’t the best candidate for larger rodeos due to being older and anxious he still put his all into it.. It was great seeing and being able to grow, learn and improve with Apollo these last few years after giving him a second chance coming for a kill lot. He made me a better horseman and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better partner over the years he is an amazing horse. Unfortunately he is no longer going to be my main barrel horse As I am ready to move up in levels and start doing more pro rodeos all thanks to him. He might still come to a few smaller shows he and there but now he is another persons blessing and he loves them lots Apollo is an amazing horse despite everything he has been through and I can’t thank him enough for making rodeo possible for me and trusting me through everything I’ve put him through He helped me achieve my first horse, training, hs rodeo, beginner lessons, and even helped me gain even more confidence whe helped me achieve my goals, helped me through bad days and good days, and I helped him have an amazing life, even though we had our ups and downs and there were days I wanted to give up and quit I never did, he stayed by my side through everything even if I got off an walked away because I was so frustrated he would come and follow me and stay by my side despite how upset or angry I was, I was his priority and he was mine, he loved and trusted me with everything and so did I and that’s all we needed from each other, a loyal partner.. I love this horse whole heartedly and he loves me we were an amazing team and even went as far as to win us a buckle this year.. just because he isn’t my main rodeo horse anymore does not mean I love him any less… does not mean we aren’t still a team… it does not mean I’ve given up on him.. another horse will never take his place he has set the bar high and I’m so glad another family gets to enjoy him while I still get to see him and love him it truly is a blessing.
