Josie
is my horse. She was sold to us as a two-year-old for three
hundred dollars. There was nothing wrong with her, and she was not
neglected or anything, she was simply a spirited little filly. When she
was a foal, before we purchased her, she would run and hit into the
fence and send herself bouncing off the wire onto the other side,
offering an escape. Once she tried to do this and cut her leg nearly
off. Her owner put an aloe vera salve on the leg and it healed after a
long process. Now, after such an experience, she shows no sign of
lameness or anything.
She is happy, and still spirited though. If Josie knows you are young
and inexperienced then she will be as good as gold. But when you are
riding her more and more often, she will test you, often not going
forward or taking off. But then you master her, and she goes back to
being good as gold. My mom has an especially great connection with this
mare, and the other day she hugged my mom by hooking her head on my moms
shoulder and pulling in. She has an awesome bond with me as well, and we
are her people. She used to run away when we wanted to ride her, but now
she only moves a bit. She is a truly amazing horse and although she
sometimes has her freak outs and anger fits, she is always going to be
my horse and my friend.
