Horses with issues rarely find such great homes so I'm glad she found you. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-66838914681960056582014-06-10T14:42:41.305-04:002014-06-10T14:42:41.305-04:00It's crazy how often I could write the same st...It's crazy how often I could write the same story as you about my journey with JoJo the Pony.... Did I ruin his chances at "Being somebody" by bringing him into my life? I have wondered so often if it was the wrong decision... I wanted a pony to go on trail rides... but my own fear has been my own worst enemy... He's mostly fine, it's mostly been me who has been the weakest link! Sure, he's got some mental baggage, I think someone was very hard on him, perhaps with a crop as he's petrified of them... but we are learning, or I am... and even if I am never a great rider, it is amazing experience/journey to EARN the friendship of a horse! <br /> Thanks for sharing your experiences! Good and bad! ~~ :))Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229439546427952540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-56900985658653930082014-06-10T13:02:24.029-04:002014-06-10T13:02:24.029-04:00It is really great that you are sticking it out ta...It is really great that you are sticking it out taking what might have been a "bad" decision and turning it into a good thing.

Sure she has issues, but I admire so much your perseverance in trying to figure her out, in trying to find something she enjoys, in turning her into a better horse. It's hard and it can be a very long road. She is a completely different horse from when you first got her, and it's all thanks to the dedication and patience that you have shown her. She may not always show it, but I get the impression that nowadays she knows that she lucked out when you picked her. ;)Nicole Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817619834026667737noreply@blogger.com
