OUR LOVE STORY-SO FAR!

Mommy first met me in late August of last year. She was attending a Gentling Wild Horses course with Monty Roberts. 

The course was 2 weeks long and located at Flag Is Up Farm in Solvang, CA.

A group of students (including Mommy) supervised by Monty gentled four young untouched Wild horses.

One of these horses was me.

Out of all the horses I was definitely the most aggressive and afraid!

But, I seemed to like Mommy.

and Mommy seemed to like me too.

I would be quieter with her, more patient, I seemed to know that she wasn't going to hurt me.

I chose her.

So She decided to adopt me.

But really, She thinks I adopted her!

As soon as she got me home a few months later, I blossomed!

I gained weight, grew taller, filled out, became quieter, gentler, loving and kind.


Not only did I become gentler with Mommy and people I knew at Monty's but with almost everyone!

Mommy is so excited to continue to watch me grow into the special little horse she knows I can be!

I am so bonded to her already! 

She has promised me that I will be part of her family forever!

I can't wait for the rest of my life as Mommy's horse of a life time! 

Of course, it's not always easy, we both have bad days. 

But I know my Mom loves me and I know she knows I love her too!

Friends Forever!

Love means that you put the needs of others before your own. Mommy does this for me every sing day!

And she truly believes that I appreciate her love and care.

I never had that growing up wild.

Mommy believes that God created all animals (such as dogs, horses, cats, etc) with the desire to be loved.

Even with once Wild horses like me.

 I love having enough food, I love never being out of water, I love being cleaned of all the rocks in my feet, I love being fly sprayed and not being bothered by the flies!

I love having enough to eat!


I could go on forever!

But what I'm trying to say, is that I love being loved!


Kissies from Mommy!
(Notice my smile & happy eyes)

Every horse deserves to be loved! No matter how old, crippled, or un-talented.

Many horses are abused, abandoned, or mis-treated!

Share this blog with everyone you know! On facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest, it doesn't matter!

The more subscribers we get, the more sponsors we can get and the more horses we can help!

Love your horses everyone! They deserve it!

Lots Of Kisses!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!! YYYAAYYY! Me in my birthday crown! Today I turned 3!! I'm SUCH a big girl now omg! It has been such a busy weekend! On Friday Mommy decided that she should get on my back for the first time...I mean like what the heck dude! Getting on my back for the first time on FRIDAY Um....what is happening Mommy? It was really weird at first I was all like  "Momma what...the...heck are you doing..."  But (being the super adult and lady-like stang I am now) I didn't spook or bolt or buck, I just stood still and tried to figure out what was going on! Mommy pulled softly on my right rein, I remembered that cue from long lining and shuffled to the right. Then she used the left rein, I moved to the left. Moving to the right About to move to the left for the next 15 minutes we practiced this back and forth, the more we did it, the more Mommy started to cue me more with her legs and less...

BRIDGET THE BRINDLE!

I not sure about the horses you guys know, but I LOVE COWS! And not just Smarty the dummy steer..but the real thing too! They are fascinating little guys. I enjoy hanging out with all the cows and steers here at the Ranch, but I do have a favorite. There is an old, red, brindle cow that lives in a "big apartment" with the young roping steers as a nanny. Mommy and I don't know if she has a name or what it is if she does. So we call her Bridget, Bridget The Brindle.    Bridget The Brindle Now, I get along with pretty much ever animal I come in contact with!  Birds, Lizards, Dogs, Rabbits, Goats, Fish, Mules, Squirrels, Butterflies, it doesn't matter, I LOVE EVERYONE!! It was obvious from the first time I met Bridget that we were going to be friends! Whenever she sees me she comes to the "front yard" and waits for me to walk over and say "Hi"   then she greets me with kissies! Kissies from Bridget Sometime...

SOMETHING NEW SATURDAY!

Image
Hello, As you may have guessed by the title of this post, today I experienced something new! But come to think of it...I have crossed a few other mile stones this week as well. For example, on Thursday I wore a big girl saddle pad for the first time ever! Which was a big deal! But today's mile stone trumps Thursday's! DRUM ROLL PLEASE......... Can you guess what it is?...............I WORE MY FIRST BIT! You see, Mommy bought me a raw sweet iron, 5", loose ring, snaffle bit by Weaver Leather off the Internet but since it has not arrived yet she asked a friend if they had a plain snaffle we could borrow. Would you believe our luck, they did!! Mommy's friend Kim, handed her an old headstall with the bit attached to it and asked if it would work. "I don't know let's find out" Mommy responded. She headed over to where I was standing patiently at the tie rail (like a little angel pony), with the headstall draped over her arm....
