    When I was in college I rehabilitated an abused horse who was terrified of everything and would lash out. By the end of the summer he was so gentled up, he was able to be sold to a young girl as her riding horse. He was such a source of joy to me.

      I worked at a ranch in Texas with abused horses on it...the owner of the ranch would come on the weekends to show off her toys to her Dr friends...didn't give a hoot about the animals...those horses wouldn't go near any of them...but I had been feeding them chips ahoy oatmeal cookies ...they came in a red bag...I would be on the other side of the pasture and hold up a red bandana, and the horses would bolt right over to me...the Dr /owner would get pissed!!!😂

My mother asked me where we would put the horse, and I had it all figured out-I said we’d board it! You are living my dream. 😊

    Finally a horse video. To many horse owners out there for Dodo to show dogs and cats all the time. My horse doesn’t do anything amazing except be the best therapist ever. We did have a mare that wanted nothing to do with us and would run away, but would come around to searching our pockets for treats and when she didn’t feel good due to her medical issues with her legs, she would be laying down to nap and she would let us clean her feet. She passed away when we had the horrific wild fires and were in the process of evacuating. But as a rescue, she had a happy rest of her life with us. I miss her nose “wuffle” noises she made.

    HER AGGRESION COMES FROM BEEN ABUSED, there is not other reason, but when you showed her love and compassion and gave her the right attention plus positive reinforsement that allowed her to bring down the barriers, food and love can win any time, horses , donkeys have so much nobility, get a large long bristle brush, every single animal I have done the brushing with love it so much, I think it sooth their skin SO GOOD. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE, I SAW ONE VIDEO WHERE THIS SPANISH LADY WAS ASKING QUESTION AND THE HORSE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS SAYING, HE MOVE HIS HEAD UP AND DOWN WHEN SHE SAID THINGS OR ASKED QUESTIONS THAT HORSE EITHER REPLIED WITH SOUNDS AND MOVING HIS HEAD AS SAYING NO OR YES WITH A SOUND, IT WAS INCREDIBLE. THANKS FOR SHOWING US YOUR FRIEND, SHE IS SWEET, YOU MADE HER BETTER ALOT, I THINK YOU NEED EACH OTHER FOR SUPPORT

    As I have had my horse for 16 years now since foal and been working with many different characters and tried different paths to approach them I was expecting someone who maybe couldn't read signal or over exaggerating something what is not such a big deal. I was positively surprised to see amazing person who gave a chance to a horse who didn't know that touch can be nice and but a lot of patience and looked for someone great to help as well and change horse into please don't touch me to absolutely enjoying touching, scratch and trusted you. Great job!
