Sue and I went on a trail ride at James A. Reed Park.
It took us 14 months to get here. This park is the precipitating event of why she became my horse.
When she spooked at this park and her rider (who was trying her out as a trail horse) fell off, Sue set herself up to come to me. Neither of us knew it at the time.
She had no where to go after that. The no-where horse became my horse.
After 14 months of slow fear recovery, we made it back and rode the entire park with a nice low key friend…both horse and human.
Sue and I have now entered another phase of our relationship. Instead of Traumatized Horse, she has become:
Sue-“Studying for Level 3 in the Parelli program”.
There’s much difference in the two labels for both me and her.
