Inspirational Video from a friend

" The horse and young woman are both remarkable.

 This story is truly remarkable.   Be sure to read the story  first and have the sound turned up a little bit at the start. This is absolutely awesome.  This young woman is mute.  She can't hear, nor can she speak.   No bridle, no saddle!  All commands are by touch only.  This is one of those "I wouldn't believe it unless I  saw it with my own eyes" kind of things.  

A Horse Whisperer - -    This girl riding the horse is in her twenties.  Her father passed away just 24 days before this performance.  You can hear her dedication to him  just before her performance, so turn up  your speakers a bit. Notice that it is just her and the horse - no bit, no  saddle.  She uses signals and touch cues because she's mute.  Oh, yes, this isn't even her horse. She is training it for someone else,  although she obviously has a relationship with this one.

  1. Someone on Facebook told me they looked her up and the reports about her physical handicaps are bunk. Still...awesome.
