This is sooo hard. I only own 2 that are truely my own. Both of them have bonds with me that willl last a lifetime. I really can't choose between them. So I would have to say both of my girls are my best buds.
Vixon - She was my first real connection. I had 3 other minis before her living with us. But her, she just stole me heart. Went to look at her and she was so scared. She was with 2 other full size horses who would chase her. You couldn't walk into the paddock with a halter even on your shoulder and she would take off. We had to run her into her stall, which was the corner stall and the poor girl couldn't see out of. Haltered her up and led her around. I don't know what it was but I had to have her! So we brought her home and I changed her life from there. I tore the halter that she had been living with for 2 years and I hung it up on the run in shed where we both could be reminded that I would never let her live that life again. Then I just worked with her, trying to figure her out. I tought her to trust me and I tought her to be able to put her head in her own halter. Everything was on her terms. The poor girl was just so untrust worthy of everyone and everything. She has come such a long way. You would never recognize her. Here is a horse who now chooses to kiss you. Never could you have ever expected that from her. I was even told that me and her have shared 3 different past lives together. I can honestly believe that.
To thank me, she gave me a beautiful filly, for my birthday.
The day we brought her home.. With the halter that she had been living with for 2 years.
2 Years ago - during her pregnancy. The same horse, letting my 5/6 yr old cousin wearing a very scary/wacky get up, just pick her halter up off her nose, as she's tied. Couldn't believe this is the same horse I brought home just 2 years before.
So this is where my Beauty comes in.....
.
Born Aug 5th. I had wanted to breed my vixon for sometime now. Met a wonderful person and fell in love with her stallion. Just one of those horses that really touched me. At the time vixon was still untrustworthy of others and had her good and bad days. But talking with the breeder, vixon was a complete angel. She was tieing and hand breeding all on her own. I couldn't believe it, this was not the same horse. My horse was terrified of being tied. Brought her home and I knew before we had her tested that she was pregnant. I knew right there she was going to grace me with a filly. I told everyone! About 4 months away from her due date, I told everyone I bet she was going to have a filly on my birthday. Yah I know pretty specific times huh? Yah everyone said I was crazy, but I just knew it in my heart! Well sure enough I slept in my car with the baby monitor and that morning we were having a baby. Best birthday present ever!
My father used to always tell me growing up that I was the most beautiful girl in the world. So Thats exactly what I told the new filly. Every single time I saw her, I told her that she was the most beautiful girl in the world. About 2 weeks later everyone is asking me, what are you going to name her. I duno? I loved exotic names, but I just couldn't think of anything. So one day I'm sitting outside the stall talking to mama and baby. Once again I tell her that she is the most beautiful girl in the world. To my surprise, when I said beautiful, her ears perked at me. So I said it again. Her ears perked again at me. That was it, Beautiful! But its funny how things are meant to be. If anyone has ever seen the Movie Flicka, Flicka is said to mean younge beautiful girl. Well long story short, my great grandmother had 2 horses, Flicka and little Flicka. Both have been gone before I was ever born, but my great grandmother was just as horse crazy as I was. So Beautiful is the third Flicka to grace herself on our farm.
Both of my girls, are just as stubborn and hot headed as I am. But I wouldn't want them any other way. I love the challenge and I love the attitude. When it comes down to things, I just know my girls, I know when and where I can trust them, I know deep down that I could ask anything of them and it may take a little time, but I know they would follow. Both are smart and love learning.
