Mercury's Story:

Tavia bought Mercury off a dude string.  She went to go look at some horses to buy for Christmas camp.  Even though she wasn't really interested in him, Mercury kept on following her around.  Finally she jumped on his back and rode him around.  He came home that day and has been one of her best lesson horses ever since.  Lyssa and Hunter bought Mercury from Tavia almost two years ago.  Mercury taught Lyssa how to jump and now he is teaching Hunter all about Western Pleasure.  Mercury is now retired from active lessons but still comes out occasionally to give us a hoof when we need him.
