After a nearly 3-week hiatus, Betsy finally made it back out to Shiloh and had wonderful results with Kite. A breakthrough! Betsy was able to get the lead rope on Kite 3 different times, and more importantly, was able to stroke her and rub her all over, including down her legs.
I took Wishes out for a walk in her new raspberry-colored halter. She's still quite nervous, but she's getting better. A very fun day for us all.

I wish you could have heard the deep sigh she made as she finally released all that tension. When she realized I wasn't going to hurt her, she lowered her head and, I'm not making this up, a tear rolled out of her eye. She kept smelling me and nuzzling me and loved having her head rubbed. I can't express the joy I felt and still feel this morning. We're going to have so much fun together. I can never adequately thank you, Jenny.
I cannot wait to see under her feet and measure her collateral grooves! What's going on with her soles??? Ooh...I can't wait!
I came across your blog through the daily Shiloh Rescue Blog. I volunteer there whenever I can make it out. Currently I don't have a horse but I plan on adopting from Shiloh by the end of the year. Just dropping by to visit another shiloh supporter- glad your adopted horses are doing [and looking] well. =)
