TINY HORSE GETS A MAKEOVER! ❤️ He is So CUTE!

Nigel was not happy about the multiple spa days it took to get him looking presentable for summer.
He is finally looking more like the fabulous little horse he is and less like a hairy goat!

Horses like Nigel, as naughty and grumpy as they are, always manage to worm their way into your heart. I really enjoyed this video of Nigel's grooming drama as well as the reaction of the other horses. Your knowledge and ability to meet the needs of each individual herd member is truly awesome. ❤

[@adhc8560]

Nigel was at the end of his road, unwanted, unhealthy, suffering, and cruelly neglected. Not many people would have taken him in. What you have done for him, showering him with affection, kindness, and the best care at considerable expense while asking and expecting nothing of him, actually brings tears to my eyes.❤

You and Nigel have a very unique relationship. You, the doting. loving, concerned mama, him, the crotchety older child who doesn't want to be fussed over. You guys are hilarious and I'm always so happy to see how kind and patient you are with him and all of the horses.

A lil' poem for CC and her crew! In fields where wildflowers kiss the sky, Lives tiny Nigel, with a coat freshly shorn, A little horse with a giant glint of mischief and distain in his eye, Trotting away lighter, since the winter coat’s long gone. His kitty cat barn sister named Tiny, hovers over him like a small, but mighty bodyguard, With playful headbutts, she greets him each morn, Together with all their siblings, under Clever Girl's TLC, Their antics a dance, beautifully adorned. From Montana's plains to many continents afar, Clever Girl's voice bridges vast distances with grace, Connecting tales of four-legged friends that enter our lives and daily thoughts, Each story a thread in the tapestry she shares. So here’s to Nigel and Tiny, and the entire cast of beloved horses and Huckleberry too, that soak in the snuggles and scratches like the royalty critters that they are, And with every video, she captures hearts everywhere, Through her stories, the love clearly speaks, Uniting us all through a peak into heaven and never ending but somehow mesmerizing chores. Making the world a better place by instilling us with hope. What a gift that keeps on giving!

[@hatewaiting]

That is really good. Very thoughtful and true.

Wow! Little Nigel has in indeed become " huge " with us all. When you're small and male both, it can be quite a challenge. Imagine his feelings when having to deal with others larger than him. He shows us he has courage, spirit, pride, and just wants to be acknowledged. He does love you Clever Cowgirl, just he can't show you right now. Sometimes matters of the heart are easier if left disguised, especially in his world where everything is a challenge to his character. Your love, your kindness, your patience, and extraordinary awareness of his health issues are such a blessing to this little guy. You and Nigel have truly captured my heart and so many others watching. I think we can say we learned from Nigel's reactions , that he definitely is telling the world, " I may be small, but I still will have the last decision. " That is BIG!

[@MiaMidol]

How wonderful that you will spoil him to the end, you are a wonderful owner to all those you provide habitat for. Thanks for allowing me to share your work.

Nigel has so much pride that he refuses to concede to ANYONE or anything . Look at him prancing around like a peacock, in spite of pain, blindness and old age. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for his attitude. Thank you for helping him, I bet he is grateful, but doesn’t know how to express anything but contempt 🤷‍♀️🙏🕊️❤️

[@Bonnie_Lou]

Our little mini got colic tonight, we have been up all night, he is over 30, and the spunkiest little dude you will ever meet, he loves horses, always the boss, he loves his humans more, he taught all my children to ride, my eldest is about to turn 21, he isn’t an animal, he is apart of the family, a brother, a son a grandchild, a nephew…. He is holding on atm, but never take for granted the things you have, because like a blink of the eye the could be gone x

Watching C.C.’s videos are always a pleasure while hearing the different kinds music she subtly infuses, but most often I am impressed with her abundance of patience she shows no matter the task. If there is any one characteristic to emulate and highlight, her patience is the one I witness each time I visit. It does challenge my own ability to keep pace with C.C. who is a teacher I learn from each visit.

Thank you for sharing your life with all of us and I hope and pray that Nigel has many more years to spend with you and us.

[@JandG2]

That respectable hairdo was hilarious!! He’s so cute!

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

I loved the crazy hair and blue tinged tail LOL! I also don't think 'hate' is the right word. Nigel is a stallion which makes him willful and he just prefers to do as he pleases. This situation is more like a woman trying to drag a man along when going purse shopping, he just doesn't want to do all that unpleasant crap. If she had him do things he super loves 10 times in a row on the next 10 catches, I bet he'd come faster the 11th time, part of it is the unpleasant activities of the last few times are fresh in his mind, he's basically saying no, don't wanna go 'purse shopping!' Also he likes his corral so he doesn't want to risk getting put in that boring old stall, he'd rather freeze do death instead LOL! Unfortunately if she has to be careful with his diet, she can't just bribe him with some carrots a lot either. I wonder if he likes walks, she might be able to reward him with those instead. It's harder if you can't find anything that can be used as a bribe. If he doesn't expect to get anything super fun out of it, then he has no reason to let her grab him.

[@birgittahansenstern1880]

Ever since I saw a video with Nigel in it, I can’t but every time get reminded of my little old dog, twelve years now. They are so alike, my dog and Nigel. The hair in their eyes, misschieve glinting there, And the absolute determination Not to get groomed, pampered och anything else that they can’t deside for themselves. When you chase Nigel in his pen it feels like I’m shasing my dog through the apartment. He knows my every move even when I try and hide it. He’s the smartest dog I ever had, and I had a few very smart ones, but he tops them all. But then he is a cross between a chihuahua and som sort of small terrier and as street smart as any mott in the town. And like Nigel and other mini horses seem to be, my dog is the most dangerous 😅 dog I ever had and I have concluded it’s because he’s small and awfully cute. He’s the Only dog I ever had that has been so curled and pampered that I sometimes think he’s more a cat than a dog, and maybe he was in his previous life, haha. My heart melts every time I see Nigel looking through his mane and trotting like a king in his pen. You have a wonderful life with all the beautiful horses and stunning Nigel. ❤❤

Nigel was a really good boy, clippers are loud and scary. A long time ago my husband asked me if I knew I had a hoof print on my back, I replied ,yes, I was there. The hoof print was the result of me clipping an Arabian's ears, because he reared, knocked me down, and ran over me. These things occur. I caught him when the vet came to geld him, it took two injections to drop that crazy little rascal, bless his heart
