[@reiningmypalomino5168]

I love how he started out as some scrawny little horse that was a rescue and now he looks as if he is a 50k show jumper

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.

[@christinamitsiou9630]

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.

[@marinavinuela9886]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@briarrr__]

[@ameliasmenagerie3350]

If you are referring to looks, I agree it's amazing. Scrawny little thing to a really stunner

[@carlireyno7901]

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 ♥️

[@sydneyallen3519]

This great to see. Thank you so much for rescuing a horse and being so patient with him. You are so gentle and kind with him and i wish more equestrians were like you.

[@equestrian_sab1126]

Rewatched this almost three years later. You have done such a good work with him, it is truly amazing! You are really inspiring!

[@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.

[@projectpoppyxo1501]

How have I just found this ?! Well done with milo you’ve made him an amazing horse 😍

[@mckenahbiro1092]

Beautiful. Honestly this has inspired me to never give up. And I promise I am not crying.😭❤️ Thank you Shelby for the inspiration.

[@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.

[@erinbarrow3154]

I am so glad that he has recovered from such a troubled life! And I am so grateful that he ended up with such a great rider and a kind person. I'm so glad you didn't give up on him and I can't even imagine where he would be now without you! Such a good person and a great horse!

[@lilyneale177]

This made me cry I have to admit. It's amazing at what these two have achieved together

[@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. Most people aren't willing to devote the time necessary to help these horses overcome their issues. You've done an amazing job with him, and should be proud!

[@Jess-iu7vy]

This has helped me understand how horses can change if you are persistent and keep on going...thankyou so much btw Milo is adorable Xxx

[@Sarah-gh2wc]

Videos like this make me cry. I rescued my horse as well. The difference being mine used to be a race horse and was bottle fed so he was super sweet. Though, abused badly and under weight. I did all the training with difficulties. He still wont take baths or fly spray. But the point is. I love the story of Milo now. I am subbing. Congrats.

[@agfhorsemanship7054]

This is so amazing!! You guys are like the perfect horse an rider team. Thank you for the inspiration. My horse can be very hard at times but this video has truly inspired me. You guys are amazing.

Just have one thing to say.. Amazing! Such a amazing, beautiful horse. You’re the coolest person I know!

[@crys227]

I see so many riders putting the saddle too far up… *but you position the saddle enough back. I love that! Because if the saddle goes too far up, then it stops the shoulder from properly working. So happy to see how you treat your horses, Milo couldn’t ask for a better home!* 👏😍

Wonderful Journey good Job, you turned this horse in an amazing creature. Sometimes not to give up is the best choice.

[@ashequestrian3183]

Just an idea if you haven't tried this yet. You said he's weary of some odd jumps well at my old barn they put like different and bright coloured objects on the rails of the jump under the jump even beside it just so he's used to odd things under jumps maybe you could try that. Just a little idea 🙂 and milo has grown so much!

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

Yup, we already do that. Thank you!

[@paris_riley2874]

So many auction and rescue horses are labeled as wild, unrideable, vicious and dangerous. This is because of their past with abuse and neglect and no one can blame any animal for not trusting if they have been abused. But the beautiful thing about these horses is that when they learn to trust and learn that they can finally feel safe. Their spirit comes bounding out and they come to life. Maybe healing a damaged horse can heal us people

[@shrekscumslut1341]

I once got an unridable aggressive horse ,two weeks after getting him a 7 year old rode him and he did awesome .I sold him to her and she's had him for over 10 years now...

[@elliekoop1364]

His transformation is amazing! He’s beautiful now!

All horses are our 'soul mates'. bless you, for hanging in there. and discovering 'real' love.

[@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.

[@maartjejansen8241]

You can be sooo proud of yourself because you did such an amazing job with him! He is an awesome horse and i cant wait to see what you will achieve with him over the coming years!

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 ❤️

So cute!! I’m going to start leasing my boy named Jack! I’m not exactly sure how old he is, but I suspect 8-10 years old. He’s a definite problem horse. He hates water, rears, gets frustrated easily, and overall he’s just not very trusting of people or even me yet. His owner sucks and never really comes out to see him. But I love riding him and spending time with him. Every time I see him my heart swells. I can’t wait to lease him...

[@Lisasuhr47]

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!

[@thesavnav9354]

As someone really struggling with the ups and downs of a rescue TB, this honestly has been so inspirational. Reminding me to just keep working with him and not give up. Thank you for sharing your journey ♥

[@maddiesullivan588]

Watching him prancing around the jumping paddock, you can tell he is happy and really proud of himself. He is also super cute with that horse ball!

[@rickieleel.1806]

Shelby you deserve all the credit in the world for bringing this horse as far as you have. most people (including me) would have probably sold him. I really think you saved his life or at least gave him the type of quality of life nobody else would have had the patience to offer.

[@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 is just what I needed to see! I have a 2 year old mare I’ve had for a little over 3 months. All we know is that she was horribly abused and has no trust in humans. We have finally been able to lead her a bit... I wanted to quit and sell her when times get ruff... but I can’t give up on her. How ever long it takes... even if I never ride her, as long as I can make her happy I will have succeeded! 😍😍🤩

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.
