Grace Rigdon loves to ride and she loves her Kentucky
Mountain Saddle Horse, Bud’s Dusty. There was a period of time when
Grace thought her days of riding were over. Grace had been riding since
the age of two, but when she was seven, she was kicked by a horse and at
the age of eight, fell off another. Her injuries were minor, but between
the kick and fall, she was now afraid to ride.
While her mother Nancy, was out on a horse-buying trip
to Billy Caudill’s farm in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, Nancy saw another
horse. As soon as they saw Bud’s Dusty, they knew they had to have her
for Grace. Her gentle manner and eagerness to please helped Grace to
overcome her fears.
Dusty was worth every penny! Grace was back in the
saddle! Thanks to Dusty, she now rides other horses including Red Doc.
Grace tries out every horse they bring home and is enjoying showing
also. Horse showing allows Grace and her family to spend the best
quality time together.
