Shelly is now happy :)

This is Shelly(Rare edition) with her new owner. I could talk about how happy I am that she has better home than she ever did with David, but I don’t want to. I want to talk about how great Shelly was. She was a great friend to me. When I first came to the barn she was the scary horse. The horse that kicked out boards everyday. The horse that wore kick chains and threw everyone off. She tried throwing me off the first time I rode her. Let me put it this way, she was evil. No one wanted her except for me. Being who I am, I took this horse under my wing and visited her everyday. I told her that I loved her and told her how beautiful she is. She would toss her head at me. Almost laughing at me. I began riding her all the time. We became friends. We made baby steps. I gave her treats and braided her forelock. I even got to the point where I could sit down in her stall and even stand behind her and pick out her tail. She also loved her baths. We had several different shampoos that we can use to bathe the horses and I always let Shelly smell them to see if she liked them or not. I told her to kick for no and shake her head for yes. It was so weird when she actually kicked for 3 shampoos and shook her head for the strawberry one. It was quite amazing. I was shocked. I was laughing like crazy and Shelly was neighing. And David told me “that horse really loves you" and then he took her away from me. He took my best friend from me. He sold her for little to nothing and didn’t even offer for me to buy her. I could have afforded her. She was mine. Maybe not money wise, but in my heart she was mine. The week before she left I stood in her stall crying, more like wailing. She stood there licking my arms and my face. She was as sad as I was. I could tell in her eyes. She tried so hard to be her mean self when Mara came to buy her, but Shelly couldn’t be mean. She wasn’t that mean horse anymore, she was nice now. She was happy with her life, with herself. She knew when I came to say goodbye, that it was for real. She was actually leaving. And now she is so happy. She has a person to love her everyday. To tell her how beautiful she is and how amazing she is. She has someone to spoil her. She is happy now, and that’s all I want; Is for her to be happy.
