kelly is a very nice horse and im glad you got her. sounds like you have had quite a journey with her and its not over yet. I always dreamed of having a horse and finally got one at 41 years old. I couldnt just have one so i rescued a horse that used to race. its been a challenge with her as she has a tendency to be a bit stand offish at times. but i am choosing to persevere and hopefully one day she will trust me enough to actually have a loving relationship with me. Thanks for sharing your story.
