When he arrived at the barn on May 11, 2009 he was underweight, had very little muscle, and a truckload of issues from neglect and mistreatment in his past, which I would not learn about until almost a year later.
This is a story of challenges, discovery, solutions, setbacks and triumphs. Of all of the horses I've owned, trained and ridden, Harley has been the most challenging individual to deal with, but none of his problems were his fault. And I truly believe he has the most potential too.
He is a perfect example of why a first time horse buyer must be very careful when they get their first horse, and should always have an experienced person that they trust to advise them. Had Harley been bought by a beginner, things would have most likely turned out very differently, and possibly very badly.
