&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Miss Dakota Rain aka Dakota-&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dakota was my first horse, as well as my first lesson horse. She stands at about 15 hands. She is an 11 year old paint mare. She has never had a foal, and I don&amp;#39;t think that I will ever let her. She is definatly the lead mare of the herd. She can be ridden western or english and rides well at both. I wouldn&amp;#39;t say that Dakota likes work, but she tries to please and wants to do well.She is&amp;nbsp;my little show off!&amp;nbsp;Dakota can be stubborn at times, and when she is you have to be a &amp;quot;scary bear&amp;quot; , as my mom likes to say. She really needs an intermediate rider. I remember when I tried to ride her the day that I got home, she was used to a full cheek snaffle bit, and we had bought a tom-thumb because I was riding western. The tom-thumb is great for neck reigning. So I hopped on her with all of my family around and she just went ballistic, side-stepping, throwing her head around....gosh it was scary!!! Then, I bonded with her and now, she does anything for me...I mean &lt;u&gt;anything&lt;/u&gt;. She will test you, I think that I new this the day the first day I got her. I put my neice on her for a lesson. (Take notice that I am only 13, but I do give lessons..don&amp;#39;t freit, I know what I am doing &lt;img src="http://forum.equisearch.com/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;) Anyway, so my mom took her horse out of the pasture and we began our lesson. Dakota gave my neice a piece of her mind. She was neighing and prancing around. I told my neice to let me get on her, she did nothing wrong...my neice mounted up again, and the Dakota started up again. She is a&amp;nbsp;peice of work that I fell in love with. Still, to this day, she has made doors open for me, and made my life nothing but horses. I love you Dakota! &lt;img src="http://forum.equisearch.com/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
