Been a huge Milo fan for over a year. You have done such an amazing job with him! You guy have come so far and i have no doubt you will continue to go far

Congratulations on 3 years. You got such an amazing horse that people would kill to have. You have done an amazing job with him. We have all said I quit I can't do this but then we get on and say why did I ever want to quit. This is how me and my pony are. People make fun of me cuz I'm 13 and still ride a pony. I don't care. I wish you well in the future. Just a tip, never give up and Milo will never give up on you. Now who put the onions out.

[@beckatanner1786]

Hoof Harted Yes! Who did put the onions out?!!!!!!

[@JG-mt3rp]

I like this Hoof Harted kid - Hoof, you are awesome, keep enjoying that pony, ponies are badass athletes too.

[@lucy.f3r616]

Hoof Harted I'm about 5.6 and I ride a horse that's BARELY a horse, I normally don't ride anything over 15,3 but I'm looking into sharing a freaking giant soon 😂 I'm kinda scared

[@beckatanner1786]

Hoof Harted I'm 5'8 and I ride a 14hh pony. I don't have my own horse so this is why I ride such a 'small' horse. it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's about what you think. Haters are going to hate. I'm 13 also, but I ride a pony. There is a girl at my school who is also 13 and the same height and show jumps 13-14.2hh horses. I also still have not found who put the onions out.

[@kadenlake2087]

Hoof Harted no matter the size of your horse, if you are a skilled rider and a kind horseman you'll do fine. I'm raising a filly at the moment and she's 8 months old now. Vet predicts she'll barely break 15hh. As long as carrying me doesn't hurt her, and as long as carrying you doesn't hurt your horse, it doesn't matter if you look a little awkward.

I love this story so much, but also I love the way you narrate it. You are not trying to impress anyone, you are just telling us the truth. Your journey with both it's ups and downs. There are not many equestrian youtubers like you.

[@oliveguacamole2712]

Milo is the luckiest horse in the world, and it's all thanks to you. Keep doing what your'e doing girl!

[@suemcfarlane4199]

It's funny how a bad horse can make a good rider my first pony was difficult and taught me heaps

[@monicalake652]

sue mcfarlane Yes, it’s just like the lesson horse I sometimes ride, Meadow! She is soooooo cheeky

[@briarrr__]

5:19 Milo playing with that ball gives me life. It's great how he got so strong and talented in 3 years, you two make a perfect match!

[@DipityS]

Milo's a gorgeous horse, and you look absolutely beautiful and graceful and elegant when riding him - the hard work and consistency that had to go into this is intensely impressive. I think you're wonderful, Milo's wonderful and you have a wonderful family behind you. Thank you for sharing this. :)

[@jessicacopland3224]

More people need to see this. This is what being an equestrian is about. Not many people would rescue a young horse, they would much rather just go buy one with good breeding, so glad I have seen this.

[@alisonmandelbaum9537]

Thank you Shelby for starting my day on such a positive note. I wouldn't have watched it but my grandson's name is Milo and I was curious how the equine version would compare to the 7 year old human one. They have very similar energy levels and if my Milo could buck I know he would. I'm sure you get much less potty mouth from your Milo. Seriously, Milo the horse won the lottery when you got him. I can't imagine too many people would be as patient and kind with him as you have been. I loved it when you spoke of how his antics had improved your seat. Now that's positive thinking! The two of you look fantastic together and it's great to see you riding without a bit so much of the time. I look forward to seeing more of the two of you.

[@kate1017]

He's jumping like a dream

[@katie195]

Nice vet. Lots of professional encouragement there. It’s amazing what can happen with patience and dedication. It takes time to undo damage. Well done! I’m glad you know what a gem you have.

[@mdee860]

So very glad you took the time with him. So many people "rush & ruin" horses because they have no patience & show anger. Such a waste. Milo, your "horse of a life-time" - is just that because you took the time with him. Happy for both of you. It was great that your Mom stepped in early on when you were becoming a bit frazzled with him. For people without that help, try taking your horse for a walk & a graze with grass they don't usually have access to. No pressure, just bonding.

[@shovington67]

Never really watched a horse video before. Always thought they were kind of a big dog from a perspective of similarities. I can tell by his first few pictures that he was terribly treated, and from his level of distrust and overall fear, probably taken from his mother at a young age. His mother probably didn't trust humans either, and Milo probably didn't have any further bonding experiences after that. He seemed malnurished for a two year old, when I imagine he was about to start his teen years. From my laymen's perspective he seems to have trouble putting weight on? The end of the video shows Milo nuzzling you from a laying position, which was very touching to see. He obviously thinks the world of you to be that gentle. I know that it takes a lot of time effort and money to look after horses, and not that many people do that anymore. Only a very small percentage of individuals have the knowledge, patience, and the magic to train horses. You have obviously gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from working with this difficult horse, and I feel certain that you saved his life by adopting him. It's no small feat ! In the process you've made a middle aged soundman and professional stagehand curious about horses, which is also, no small feat...

[@readridelearn8635]

shovington67 what a lovely comment!

[@shovington67]

Read ride Learn , thank you for your gracious comment. I find myself looking at animal videos quite a bit in the private moments I have from time to time. It helps heal my broken heart a little at a time for my dog Maggie that I lost a few years back. But really I want young people like Shelby Dennis to know what she does is important, and that if you can make a difference in life, you've done very well. In the end I don't think being famous or being rich will be worth anything in the existence of our universe, but helping others might just be what we need to do, to be remembered as a good species amoung the other beings in exsistence. Have a wonderful life Read ride Learn !

This has me in floods of tears. What a wonderful person you are to have taken all that on and not give up on him. Without you he probably would have given up and would have never known that there were good humans like yourself out there who’d love him and push him to his full potential. You are AMAZING and I wish there were more people out there like you ♥️

New follower of yours and addicted to watching all your videos, this one particularly hit my heart ❤️ I've owned my mare 2 years now.. I bought her as a skinny 3 yo with not much work done, to this day, she's proven to be difficult and most days seem to be bad days. I hope that one day I have a happier ending like this. So relatable to everything I'm going through with her. Your truly inspiring and this had made me want to push through everything bad as I have had a lot of doubts. Thank you ❤️

[@blg.6016]

I just love your honest commentary. How we feel on a horse can affect how we feel about the horse itself. You are such a wonderful person to persevere through those feelings and now you’re reaping the rewards of a beautiful bond.

[@cassiediefenderfer9202]

This is so inspirational and gives me so much hope for my horse. I really believe the key with these difficult horses is consistency and time.

You've done a fantastic job with Milo! So inspiring. I'm training our young gelding with similar tendencies. He too wasn’t handled much before age 1 1/2, and he is stubborn, flighty, pesky, yet curious, friendly and very smart. I know how much more it takes to train horses like these, and we get to know them so well and love them so much!

It is wonderful to see someone take on a horse like Milo. Thank you for showing us your work with him, as well as his wonderful personality. As an ADHD kid myself, I know what it feels like to have an overwhelming need to get your wiggles out..,and for no one to understand that need. It actually feels like a tickle inside that you can't reach; eventually it'll drive you(or someone else) crazy🤪 lol. My little Arabian was like him; everything brand new, everything scary, but a heart of gold. Thank you so much!

[@diaryofawimpycam]

This just shows that people who think horses will be major problems, that you can truly form a connection with the problem animal. Who knows how they were treated or what they were thinking, I really wish there was more people like you willing to give horses chances when they seem to have run out of them.
