I took these photos of Gigondas when my friend Susan came up last weekend. Gigondas' eyes have softened a lot since two years ago. At that time, her eyes would have been big and wild. They have now softened. It has taken a lot of time and patience, but she now trusts people again. It is a real shame that some people abuse horses to the point that they HATE people. Gigondas was like that when I rescued her from a slaughter-bound feedlot. She HATED people, turned her butt to us, and walked away. NOBODY could touch her head. But, with time and patience, and LOVE, she now softly nickers to me when I drive up to the ranch. She no longer bolts when I lead her down to the arena, and she stands for me to brush her! What a good girl! Sunday Stills Challenge for June 13, 2010.

Good job with this lovely girl.
Her eye really does look so much softer
Thank you, Jack! I know some of you, who have followed this blog, see a difference! She really HAS mellowed out! I really LOVE this mare!
Nice one, beautiful eys for a horse :). I loved her color aswell.
She is a beauty indeed, and so lucky to have you in her life.
It amazes me that she was bound for the slaughter, I guess just another 'disposable' animal to someone.
nice!
She must trust you.
that's neat that she nickers to you! You have really bonded with her, and her to you!
Beautiful eyes...nice to hear a story with a happy ending~
Nicely done :D
