Dakota, my dream

[Youngfarmer2019]

I got Dakota about 2 weeks ago and we clicked almost immediately. It’s clear that THIS is the horse I’ve been waiting for all my life (not to sound cliche or anything) since then I have worked with her every day and have gained confidence and control on the ground. Today I decided she was ready for a ride.

Dakota did AMAZING, chill and calm as calm can be. I rode her for the first time ever and it only took a couple minutes to work the kinks out before she was walking/trotting/loping on cue. She did give me major side eye at first though lol

This is fantastic! WHOOP!!! Absolutely awesome. I’m thrilled for you and Dakota.

That's WONDERFUL!! I will always remember that one special horse that shared my heart... He belonged to a public 'Rent-by-the-hour' stable that I worked at. I think every horse I actually owned after that was a attempt to find another like him.
You're blessed that she's yours.

Dakota stood great for the farrier and I’m just so proud of her!

No foot-no horse. It’s good that she stoop for the farrier.

Those are some nice looking hooves.

Went for a good ride yesterday, peaceful and calm, she improves every single ride.

You need to train to neck rein.

Rode Dakota bareback today for the first time with only a few, ehem…uh, hiccups

Don’t worry, I did not fall off (miraculously!)
