Well Mya is being worked with by Rebecca. Rebecca calls her 'My girl'. They are developing this wonderful bond, those two. At first, Mya was always looking for her herd, not paying attention, being naughty, the usual first training of a horse. And she is an alpha mare. But she likes to take direction from a human. Rebecca has been working on the ground with her and last night she got a saddle on her! And Mya not objecting too much. Mya doesnt like different sounds. She doesnt might looking at stuff and smelling new stuff. I think Mya is going to be a great trail horse. She loves her herd and is worried about everyone of them. She also will be very gracious with the handicapped horses. Last year when I had Mia, who was blind, she befriended her her and made sure she was taken care of. Now Cheyenne (with a back club foot) is being taken care of by Mya. Mya is 3rd in getting her food (after Papa Jack and Duke) but she will move to the next pile to let Cheyenne in there. Cheyenne is 2nd to the last (only ahead of Max) in the herd. I just love Mya. Rebecca loves Mya. And Mya will stay in our hearts. It will be hard on Rebecca when Mya finds a home. It is really her first horse (with me) that she has trained from nearly the beginning. And she is doing great with her. Here is a picture of Mya last night! Isnt she just beautiful? And YES, she is a very easy keeper, tee hee! She is like her human mom, she can just look at food and gain weight!
