Wow Fooze, I hadn't seen that before, but it is exactly how I often feel. Often in my life people have said to me, "Why do you worry about others, why do you bother, you have to mind your own business and ignore them, their issues not yours"or even "That child is never going to learn" and that always surprised me. And then I see something like this that is basically one person who had a choice to either walk away and leave that young woman in the situation she was in or act on it.

I have to say that in my experience with horses I have picked certain horses that were overlooked by other people. I took the time to train them and work at them, inspite of people telling me not to waste my time. Those same people stood and watched a champion one day. And I did this with a wild, skinny, abused mustang and we worked on him and my daugher worked at training him (he was so scared he would almost sit down when we went to put a saddle on him) and we got him round and healthy and trained him and kept working at it and I wish I could show all of you how beautiful he came out. We took him to a fancy show and everyone thought he was a very expensive exotic horse imported from Europe. And I have presented others as well, a trainer told me that a horse I wanted to buy for my daughter was not the be all and end all, I bought him anyway, well the trainer sure ate those words the horse ended up being state and zone champion.

My new therapist told me that if one can train a horse, one can be a therapist and I have to say there is some truth to that.

Excellent post Foolze,
