Benny is the coolest horse, I am stunned no one has adopted him yet. And as Cat said he is a Rock Star!

What a cool ride that must have been! Benny is just the most amazing little guy, I can't believe no one has snatched him up. He is the PERFECT all around horse. And he is so cute to boot. Oh, Lyyyyyyynnnnnnnn, where are yooouuuuu?!

I cannot imagine who wouldn't want this guy in their barn. He has fabulous potential as a hunt seat and western open show horse, and who doesn't love having a non-spooky, go-anywhere horse?

I agree, is a steal. I have so many balls up in air right now in my life I don't know whether to duck or juggle! That's why he isn't sitting next to me right now.

Well, you guys, I have to admit - I am in love with this little guy! I am even considering submitting my own adoption application for him, which says alot, when you are a rescuer yourself. Benny is just one of those 'once in a lifetime' horses. He has the ability, desire and willingness to do anything I ask of him. I saddled him up last night in a hurry as I only had about 30 minutes of early evening daylight to ride in. I needed to get a new horse out on the trails, though he hasn't been ridden yet. He's a 7 year old, very high strung, spooky un-broke Arabian. Benny was (surprise surprise) a superstar. I saddled him up in a saddle I haven't ridden him in before (a Bob Marshall treeless with a back cinch), hopped on then immediately rode over to the Arabian gelding, untied him from the trailer (while still mounted) and then rode off down the road. This was the first time Benny had ponied another horse, and the first time the jumpy, nervous Arab had been ponied. And it was dark, riding Benny in tack he was unfamiliar. We long trotted down the trails in the dusk evening, on a loose rein. Benny was amazing. I absolutely cannot endorse him enough! My 9 year old daughter even rides him - they are a great team as well. So... I hope no one adopts Benny anytime soon! Here's a poor quality picture of Benny from last night. I'll update again soon.
