Why I fell in love with Betty!!!!!

When I first met Betty she was very shy and timid and wasn't the first one to approach me in the field but after a couple years of groundwork our relationship started to grow even better! When I took at least five minutes out of my busy day to work with her each and every day she started to come right up to me in the field. But people need to realize that this start off relationship with your horse is not an easy one to reach. This takes time and patience, especially working with a difficult horse like Miss.Betty! Betty has been abused in the past and earning her trust is extremely hard to do. I have found though that she does not like Men handling her and is more friendly towards Women handling her. When I am working with her I find that since horses feed off of your energy that you give off, horses feed off that and that contributes to your emotions! Betty has to have a strong leader that she can look to for guidance and direction! When I am able to do that with her she feels confident that as long as I am leader that she will be okay and that nothing will harm her! This is Betty being her sweet self! Betty is such a unique horse and I feel like me and her have something very special between the two of us! Even though she isn't a special breed or has unique markings or is the most prettiest she is very special to me indeed! She is the most hardest horse to get along with and work with but for me there's something about our special connection that makes it really easy to work with her when we are together! After working with her for a couple of years and she started to get better I got extremely attached to her and decided that I would eventually buy her! I taught her how to give hugs! Here comes the kisses! She is one of the most special and unique horses that I have worked with! There is just something about her that I find very interesting and special that you can't find in a lot of horses!
