Man - a dozen years ago my wife just HAD to get this horse - her name is “Joy” - short for “Almond Joy”, and was so named due to her cream & brown colors.

So if you’re gonna have a horse you’re gonna need a barn - so that pretty much killed that entire summer after work and weekends lol - right down to making stained glass windows for both hayloft doors.

She is an Indian Paint mare, and I am totally fugging amazed at the love that passes between she and my wife - they are incredibly lucky to have each other. Rain, snow, ice - doesn’t matter; my wife is bundling up to head into the pasture to make sure that Joy is well taken care of.

She loves that animal and that animal loves her.

Mrs J has been riding and training Joy for the last dozen years and the bond between them has kept growing immensely. Joy was a rescue from a farm that had neglected her and was diagnosed with “Navicular, which is a degenerative hoof bone disease - it never gets better but it DOES get worse. The Navicular bone in the horses hoof essentially deteriorates - how couldnit possibly ever get better?

My wife has been doing everything humanly possible to make Joy as comfortable as possible and to continue training and working with her even though she has the navicular disease. Over the last several years things have been progressing in a crazy way… It is extremely positive way. Who would believe it. Different additives to her food such as Turmeric for example, different leg wraps, different equine powders - Mrs. J is the horse lady, not I.

Somehow - through everything she does, Joy is no longer lame. Jeez!! I mean, it’s almost unheard of.

Again, Mrs J is the horse lady and two weekends ago she was over at the barn working Joy - I was doing firewood. These horse people use a mixture of motions and sound etc to have the animal do what they want - again, About the only thing I know is how to clean the crap out of Joys stall and what to feed her LOL - step sideways, backwards, head down, head up - training training training...

So I’m doing firewood and my wife came up to me and I could tell that something big was up - she about couldn’t talk - something exciting had happened...

“What’s up?”

“You won’t believe me -“

“Of course I will - what’s up?” (Married heading towards 30 years)

“I was over at the barn working with Joy doing some usual exercises and...”
————————————
Jeez - what??

“I didn’t have to tell her what to do - I just started *thinking* about what steps (exactly) I wanted her to do - and she did it...”

“Holy shit!!!”

“It started by accident and I was thinking something and Joy did it, and it startled me - so I thought about something different - quietly, slowly - and Joy kept doing all different steps exactly as I asked - in my mind”...

————————————-

I shit you not Boys and Girls - true story. Fucking amazing is what it is...and my wife would not and doesn’t lie to me. How fucking Cool is that?

Real deal.

I’m on a roll with pics I guess lol - this is Joy and my Shepard, Max. He’s my buddy

I’ve got to get some chores done but I will check back in later. Hope you guys are having a good day.
