It really was the best thing my mom did for me as a child. Once you're in the horse world, there's no time to do anything else. No time to get in trouble or hang out with the wrong crowd at school, etc. It will teach her confidence, patience, trust, it's just an amazing world to be a part of. She is going to get thrown, she is going to get bit and stepped on, but as long as she gets back in the saddle, that's all that matters.

And may I suggest if you plan on buying a horse for her, lease before you buy! We leased Blackie 3 years before my mom finally bought her for me.

Currently have these as possibilities.
Chief
Storm
Miska
Yeti

I like Miska. Doesn't that mean "little bear" in another language? I feel like I've heard that before.

Weird. I nick named my current husky (Atlas) ding ding or crack head because he has one brown eye and the other is half brown and blue. Looks weird

Sort of. It is the diminutive of Michael, which means "who is like God".

"Mishka" is closer.

Our 5 month old got sent home from the groomers yesterday for making too much noise and disturbance. We were so embarrassed!! He did fine last month. We have had this groomer for over 10 years.

Yes, it is a puppy cut - he's a big kid (50 lbs./23"), but only 5 months old.

That's the look of "I know you have treats, so hand them over!"

You’re correct. It is Mishka that we have in mind.

2 more possibilities are
Finn-in reference to John Finn Medal of Honor recipient
Blue- my wife reference for her favorite song (Mr. Blue Sky) for me is in reference of the movie Old School “You’re my boy Blue”.

Atlas is not very verbal but when he hears other huskies videos he does howl.

Been rescuing dogs (and cats) for decades. Patty, a rescued healer and a great farm companion is ADDICTED to playing ball and waits for me to grab the Chuckit everyday at Happy Hour, 5:00 p.m.

[Mixitt]

We are all blessed with great friends. Nice pix ya'll!

2 rescues (RIP) Minka the cat and Snoball loved to wrestle.

[Littlebear]

Good for you for rescuing!

I played your Atlas video for Onslow, and it got him barking & looking for Atlas!

This is my favorite thread

Wow, pix and the love for those that can't speak for themselves is overwhelming. There's way too much animal neglect and abuse!
