One of the girls in my daughter's riding stable has a beautiful chestnut-colored horse named "Texas." The horse has the same chestnut color all over its body except for a white spot on its right side about the size of a frisbee.

The white spot, however, is not circular. It almost appears as if a map-maker had meticulously painted a small map of the state of Texas onto the side of the horse! Hence, it is named "Texas."

As it was being ridden around in the arena, I couldn't help but smile when the judge called out, "Next is Cassie riding Texas!"
