Judy who Owned Sue for several years, had been afflicted with serious health problems and her daughter wondered if I would take Sue back. Sue had gotten a couple bad deals with humans at the time when I came to know her and had gone completely over the crazy and fearful line. It was a bad deal for a sweet fox trotter, so I bought her. She had been completely ruined in six months and it took me four years to rehabilitate her. Her rehab ruined parts of me.
My Sue rehab was completed by Lucky Star. His failure to move forward much of the time and his supreme confidence cured my fear of bolting and claustrophobia fear reactions.
When Sue was cured, Jill’s husband, Rob, started riding her on trail rides with his mother-in-law. Later Judy started riding Sue with along with Lucky and I. They were wonderfully in love with each other. Judy expressed a desire to have Sue in her own pasture. Sue moved to a wonderful kind home with Judy.
When I told Hope that I was getting Sue back, she reported to her family. Jill expressed a great desire to ride Sue on trail rides with mom, Hope. No trail riding mother could resist this!
Jill and Rob have loved Sue for many years and were eager to have her permanently in their family. Sue has now joined her old boyfriend, Lucky Star, in Hope’s pasture. Judy tragically died the day after Sue was moved to Hope’s pasture.
Jill and Sue have bonded and their relationship, horsemanship and eventful trail riding is being closely mentored by Hope and Susan. Yee Haw Jill!
