S.O. Magik Beau


Beau, what a champion in his own right. He is now 13 years old, Half Arabian, National Show Horse Pinto gelding. I purchased him several years ago to show Half Arab Western and Hunter Pleasure. After having a fun first show season together, he went through some medical and health problems that ended his show career and even left him unable to be ridden as a pleasure horse. He was diagnosed with EPM and not a lot of hope. I brought him home, promised him if he pulled through enough to be happy, healthy and in no pain, he would live here forever. The Good Lord must have taken quite a liking to Beau... after four treatments by an equine chiropractor, Beau is totally sound, healty, happy and back under saddle! You can only imagine my first ride on him after 3 years of knowing he'd never be ridden again! Lots of tears, happy tears and laughter! Creed has taken quite a liking to him and will be working with him this spring. Don't know where those two will wind up, but it will be a great ride.
