River braved crossing the highway with me. She wasn't sure about the white line on the side of the road but once she stepped over she was happy again.

Hi! With all the craziness this summer, all the cancelled events. I decided to get a new project horse to train for the summer. Her name is River, she is a 16.2 hh Clydesdale broodmare. I'll also post photos of the other horses and will try to update very regularly. If anyone has horse questions I'd be happy to answer them! Hope everyone is having a great summer. I promise to post lots of cute photos! =)
