She's had her moments of stubbornness and just plain stupidity.
She's broken ribs from throwing a full-grown man off her back,
jumped fences,
and ran through fields which are not ours.
Sometimes 1 person can look through all those ridiculous moments and see potential.
They can find the good which is there- but isn't be seen by others..
Almost 3 years to the day of being shunned by the rest of us as "unrideable"....my daughter rides her western, English, and bareback. Shes' currently teaching her to run barrels and jump, (within the confines of the corral).
Makes you wonder just what potential lies in all of us.
To learn. To grow. To be who we were supposed to be.
And It OH SO helps to have someone in our lives who can see it....even when we can't.

She's a very pretty horse. Nice that someone believed in her :-)
she's gorgeous, dawn. and i really admire your daughter's chutzpah.
speaking of, how was your trail race this weekend?
We all benefit from, and need, discipline. Good for your daughter -- this is a beautiful horse. I'm glad she is taking good care of it.
Very well said... Always a positive lesson in your posts - thanks!
Pretty horse and jumping pics! Yes it was nice to believe in her and that makes a difference
Sooo true! Love this!
A little faith and a lot of determination can take you amazing places.
Maybe she's just resigned to the fact that your daughter's never going to leave her in peace. Compliance is the path of least resistance and all that.
I haven't been on a horse for over 5 years. Might have to go tame one in London:-)
that is awesome your daughter stuck with her...beautiful horse...
She's beautiful Dawn, we all need someone to have faith in us.
She is a beautiful horse. So glad your daughter saw beneath her bad behavior, sometimes that is all it takes, someone to see what we can be rather than who we are. Great Post!
Wonderful lesson!
I'm glad you're daughter did not give up.
Hola amiga
con traductor , lo que comprendí. enseñando salto al caballo. todos son deportistas. abrazos..
What a great capture of your horse. Thanks for sharing with us Dawn.
That is amazing. I love the last shot!
WOW needed, this, especially after my very trying teaching day...
Got some kids who are rough around the edges...maybe I'm the one who is supposed to make them into diamonds! you can bet I'll try now!
We all need someone to believe in us.. and to love us. Beautiful creature.. good for your daughter.
Good for her! They must have a special relationship. I think they must understand each other.
A beautiful horse, by the way :)
A girl and her horse are a wonderful team. This horse was lucky to find your daughter.
Beautiful horse! I hear horses can be stubborn. My friend tells me stories about his neighbors horse running under trees to knock him off. SO cool your daughter broke through the stubbornness.
Gorgeous horse. Your daughter must be very gifted to have done so well with a difficult horse.
Beautiful horse! A lot of us have talents that are never fully realised..
Everyone (even horses) deserve a second chance :) She is beautiful!!
Exactly! GREAT post!
Gorgeous animal. It's nice to find someone in our lives that brings out our best.
Your daughter obviously brings out the best in her. Like her some of us just take longer to reach our potential.
Its a stunning jump by the horse. Lovely captured and hope he become a good rider.
Your daughter has a lot more patiences than I do.
Wow what a powerful message. You are always right on Dawn. I have been lucky enough to have My Hero a man who has always believed in me even when I did not believe in myself hence the name.
Your daughter is a very brave woman. She and the horse are beautiful.
I believe you can do anything just from reading your posts I think she gets those traits from her Mom. B
beautiful post Dawn! Life is certainly unpredictable and full of surprised! It's awesome to see someone we love work for something that is just right for them. More power to her!
just so you know I have been trying to comment on your blog all through Aug. but I have been having some difficulty with yours and a few others. not sure why but this morning it is working.
thanks for your comment. it's nice to see you again! hope your summer went well!
hey its the tin man!! : ) ; )
mol mol will know what i mean;)
I limped for a week last summer trying to reprogram a pony. This is a beautiful one. The trick is getting back on as soon as possible and knowing what they will try.
I really believe that "potential" is humans, dogs, horses etc really is there...if someone will spend the time its amazing to see the things that can happen!
We all need someone to believe in us :) Beautiful horse and kudos to your daughter.
so true, it's the only thing we all need is just one person to believe in us. I see mom's great character has been passed down.
What a beautiful horse! Your daughter must really her. I bet she's a real sweetheart really. Hehe.
The horse is a beauty! I'm glad your daughter didn't give up on her.
