Amber Marshall Instagram – 🐴 Since my latest newsletter focussed on Cash the Quarter Horse and his mama Shay, I thought it was only fitting to add this special horse to my #MarshallSundayStory this week. Let’s go back to April 18, 2009 when a sweet little buckskin was born. I met him shortly after when his mom came to board at my home. Falling right in love I very quickly asked if this little colt was for sale. At the end of that summer when the boarded horses went home, Cash got to stay. This handsome guy and I had many adventures together over the next several years. He has always been an extra cuddly horse and excels with human attention. Most of the horses I’ve had are independent and flourish in the herd, even if I don’t have the time to spend with them regularly. Cash was different, he needed a human. My schedule filming Heartland is quite demanding, and I would find myself driving in late at night seeing Cash standing with his head hung over the fence, apart from the herd, watching me head to the house. I would try to go out to give him a cuddle as often as I could, but I knew he deserved someone who could devote more time to him. It was during one of these late night drives home from work that my friend Shay reached out, needing a listening ear. Her horse Montana was going in for surgery and wouldn’t be rideable for quite some time. She was pretty upset by the news. I’m a believer that things happen for a reason and situations present themselves at the right time. I knew in my gut this was the right place for Cash. At the time Shay lived in Ontario, so after she excitedly agreed, I loaded Cash up, and he made the journey east. These two bonded over the next many years, and had some great adventures themselves, but the most memorable of all, was when they packed up and both travelled west to answer a calling in Shays heart. Now I get to see the two of them regularly and continue our adventures together. You can hear more of their story on my newest addition of Rambling Rides on my YouTube channel. 🐴 📸 To see more Cash photos on Instagram click #AmberHorseCash And be sure to check out Shay’s account: @CashTheQuarterHorse
