My name is Hayden and my horse's name is Fanci. She is a mahogany bay Arabian mare. I have just recently adopted her from New Options and I must say we have both learned A LOT. The first time I rode her I just wanted to ride a horse that
I had never ridden before but when I got on we both knew we were a
perfect match no matter what anybody said. Fanci has gone from a horse
that was afraid of people (and sometimes everything), really hard to get
from the field and too nervous to even finish a bucket of grain to a
horse that can be lounged, ground driven, comes when I call, groomed in a
stall without being scared of everything (even when she is she handles
her fears in a reasonable manner) and now she will even finish a bucket
of grain. She is a handful that requires a lot of patience but, she
always wants to do the right thing. I think that is why I love her so
much.
This is Shabaz. He is a young Arabian full of life and love. I remember when we first got Shabaz. He was a little timid and afraid of us. But over time he has come to trust people. When we used to approach him he used to walk
away from us and it was difficult to put a halter on him. Today, Shabaz
reached a huge milestone. He went across the bridge shown in the
picture. Walking across the bidge may not seem like a big deal, but this
has shown us how much that Shabaz trusts us. You see, the bridge is
hollow. And horses are not very fond of hollow surfaces (go figure
right?) It took a few tries, some encouraging words, and some treats but
after a few tries Shabaz went across the bridge willingly. After going
over the bridge with a person on the ground Shabaz did it with his
loving rider Christine. It has been an amazing ans humbling expirience
to watch his progress overtime. Shabaz has come so far and we are all so
proud of our little guy.
