I can't say "all's well that ends well." However, it did end. Matt decided that if he at least walked Mojito through the course and let folks see him, he'd have a chance of being adopted, which really was the point of the whole competition. Yeah, there was the whole "make a lot of money and get some recognition" thing but ultimately it's about getting the horse adopted. And that sweet horse did get a new home. He's up yonder in Heber. I really miss him.In spite of things not turning out the way we had hoped. It was a good experience. Of course this is written by a person who was not slammed into a fence and had to have knee surgery and may yet have to have shoulder surgery---but I'm the one doing the posting.
I got to witness some amazing things from both Matt and Mojito. I saw a "wild" horse who was so friendly right from the 'git go' and who seemed so willing to please once he understood what was wanted.
And Matt...wow...what a very good man. He could have taken Mojito back to the BLM and been done with it. He knew he'd be embarrassed when he walked Mojito through the course but he put Mojito's best interest above his own. You gotta' admire a man for that. So I don't know...maybe it really did end well.
I will say, I'm looking forward to next year!!!!!!!!!
