I miss riding this pretty little lady

You can tame a mustang but you can never break her spirit

A few years ago; even at the beginning of 2018 I would’ve NEVER been able to get on her, ride her or work her alone. I would’ve NEVER put little kids; the youngest so far being 3 on her without having great fear. I would’ve NEVER let my friends/others get on her & run her. . Now I do all of it regularly. I now trust her enough to put toddlers on her, throw my friends up & only give them general guidelines to riding her, & I get on her myself & ride her like you would any normal horse. . I don’t think some of you understand why these things are so important to me, but many of you do. . I never thought Misty would be capable of doing things that other owners expect from their horses normally. After years of never finding that missing piece I was convinced that she would be a fun light working horse, even just a companion. But the end of 2017 & especially this year, Misty has proven all of my fears wrong. She’s come so far in a short amount of time. For a while I thought she was a lost cause. . I’m so proud of her, & proud of us. We’ve come so far in our journey, most of it alone. We’ve had our struggles, our angry fits; frustrated each other, hurt each other. But now, we’ve finally hit the top, & there’s still so far we can rise ❤️
