Welcome Real Erbeo!!

The other day my beautiful Real Erbeo, Royal, arrived at the airport after a long journey from New York. Real means Royal in Portuguese, and I was lucky enough to meet him last month when I was in Pennsylvania. Lehua, Bryce, and I flew to the East Coast to meet Lehua's new baby Fortunate H2O and help with his Oldenburg inspection. Fortunato's breeder, Kendra, is a generous lady and asked her friends if they knew of any horses that would be a good match for me. Molly stepped up and said she thought she may have one, though she hadn't thought about selling him quite yet. When we met Royal he was so gentle, loving, and very smart! I rode him without any whips and he really wanted to learn what I needed and how best to take care of me. He truly was a special horse. Molly offered him to me after seeing our partnership together!

Tuesday Real flew on Air Horse One from New York to Los Angeles! We actually waited on the tarmac and watched his airplane land right in front of us. It was such an amazing experience and one I'll remember forever. I felt like I was in a dream watching him come down the ramp and loading him in the trailer! I still can't believe he's really here.

I can't thank Molly enough with all her help coordinating things for him and taking such good care of him before his long journey, and trusting me as his new mom!! Thank you to my parents, family, and friends for supporting me in this passion of mine. To Lehua, for helping me in my long search and moving forward with Royal. It's never a dull day and I love going on this journey with you. Of course thank you to Kendra for introducing us to Molly.

Real, you've already found a special place in my heart and I can't wait to grow with you!!
