What they all said compared to the truth of now. A comparison.
A story of perseverance, hope, love, fear, and inner beauty.
In a few simple words.
-Sharlie-
They said she was not worth much.
They said that she could never be a child's horse.
They said she was a problem horse.
They said she would always need a halter on the ground, and a bit while riding.
They said she needed a tight rein.
They said she needed to be controlled.
They said she could never truly relax.
They said she was an arena horse.
They said she was a dressage horse, nothing more.
They said she could never 'hit the trails'.
They said she was afraid of open spaces.
They said she could never be taught.
They said she wouldn't understand nor be able to learn Natural Horsemanship.
They said she was disrespectful. They said that she didn't respect humans. They said that she would harm me.
They said she could never be happy.
They said that she needed to be controlled.
They said she would never be a winner.
They said she could never be beautiful.
Well, look at her now.
[**This post was once again inspired by the realization at how lucky I am to have this amazing mare in my life and that all she has done for me.
'The Truth' part of the comparison are the photos. Revel in the irony that is the human species.]
