A thought

















I thought I would put some pics of me and "Em" up! The pics start from when I first got her till now. If you start from the top thats us now and working the way down the page is when I first got her!


"Em" and I have made leaps n bounds. I know when I first got her I has a green rider with a green horse. "Em" has taught me a lot about learning to trust and practice makes perfect. I know "Em" and I have still a lot more to learn and many more shows to do. So stay tune for updates!

RE EDIT INFO!!

I decide to write "Em"s old owner and find out some information. I was told "Em" was a thoroughbred trakhner but found out she is a full breed trkahner mare. Here the info from Melissa her old owner!


Em is a full Trak – no TB at all. Both her father and mother were sired by Abdullah (so she will be very valuable as a broodmare when you are done showing). I filled out her paperwork for AWS and they are mistaken, no TB at all. I have too many horses to remember her dam’s name off the top of my head but I know she was not a cross. I believe it started with a D…Dulca or something like that and her sire was Abdullah. She was imported from Germany when she was very young – either a yearling or 2 yr old, unfortunately the people who bought her neglected her and she was taken away from them – that is why we did not have her TRAK papers, they wouldn’t release them when she was confiscated. That is why I registered her with AWS, so she would at least have papers with someone.

I did not know the people who bought her. She was neglected (starved) and was not in good shape. She had injured herself (the scar on her back leg) and was generally bad off. She was confiscated and bought by some other people, they sent her to their trainer (also my trainer) she got in shape and was getting better but she never bonded with the new owners and was nasty with them (who could blame her after the other people were so bad to her?). The trainer was working with her and she was doing good – she had been evented a few times, but was terrible to load. I would see her all the time and she bonded to me. After a couple of years the trainer was moving back to New Zealand and she gave me Emily. I had Emily inspected/registered/branded because we were going to breed her. I wanted to show her a little more before we did breed her so I took her and Eddie all over the south to breed shows – they both won a lot. Then the hurricanes hit and we lost our barn and fences and I decided to sell her. Our place was in such bad shape and she was jumping the fences. I was sorry to loose her but I am glad you have her. Our house is built and all the new fences are in. We will be breaking ground on our new barn in February. I will send pics. When you are ready to retire her she can come back here, we will always have space for her.

** thank you so much melissa for the information

a little about everything


WEll so start it off I wanted to make this blog because I wanted to tell everybody how far me and Ememablia have came. If yall dont know about me or Ememablia is here is a little info. Ememablia or know as "Em" is a trakhner/thoroughbred mare. She is around 16.2hands and 11 years old. She is a stunning grey with a brand and Abdullah is her bloodlines!!!! "Em" is a sassy mare but who couldnt love her great personailty on the ground. I "Kaijsa Bills" have been riding since the tender age of 3years old which now I am 15years old. I have ridden all the discplines from western to english. "Em" and I have been partners for a couple years now. We started out in a ruff stop but now we are inseperable. "Em" will only load for me and when I whistle she picks up her head and looks at me. We have really never had a consistent trainer so I just look up in the books and learn from them. We have come from 1st level dressage to 2nd level dressage in just over 6 months. We started out together jumping around 3-4ft courses at all my different farms but soon Em started a bad habbit of crazily bucking. So we came back down to straight flat work for around a year or so. We have been at M and M for around 6 months now and now are jumping 3ft and still continueing our dressage. We are also trying to get back into eventing again!
