Meet the love of my life, Trophy. Trophy is a 15 year old Quarter Horse gelding, who came to me with huge confidence and trust issues. He was scared and defeated.
The second I saw him I knew he was mine.
And I was his.

| I love this goofy picture of him. He's so stinkin' cute! |
It took a solid two months of every day lovin's and affection just to bond with Trophy. Once that bond happened, I knew. I felt it deep in my soul.
Something had happened to Trophy before I got him. 14 years is a long time, who knows what he's seen. What he's been through. Those days are now behind him, and I think he is finally starting to see that.

| He's always sticking his tongue out. He can be a diva sometimes. |
After months and months of constant trust and confidence building exercises, I was able to ride my horse for the first time without fear of having my face ripped off. He has thrown me so many times I started to question my horse training abilities. I have been around horses my entire life.
Now that he is the amazing animal he is, I am not only proud, but in love with my amazing little Quarter Horse. So many people wanted to give up on him, and a lot of them did. But I knew he could be the horse he is today.

| This is one of my favorite pictures of Trophy :) |

| I just had to toss in these. This is Traveler, a horse I work with. He is a Tennessee Walking horse. He is absolutely stunning when he gets goin'! |
