4 Years Rescue Horse Transformation

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- I asked my trainer if she thought any new horses I get would be easier than Milo and she said that they're basically guaranteed to be because virtually no horse is as sensitive and quirky as my little red horse... This journey is very much not over, it's just begun.

Oh wow! Just started the video and I can not believe how different he looks from when you first got him.
A horse who does not know love will have the most amazing bond when they finally know love.
Your relationship with Milo is what makes everything that's difficult and challenging, worth it. ❤️🇨🇦
Milo is the creator of Shelby’s seat. 😆
Damn this gives me the feels. Once in a lifetime we are given an opportunity with a horse that makes us great. Not only do they need us, we need them as well. Where would we be without the blood sweat and tears and lessons learned ? One doesn’t learn true horsemanship from buying a 10k horse and paying a years salary for lessons and shows.
Shelby is the best example of the love and pure passion it takes to become this amazing, and Milo helped her.
Not going to lie, for some reason I didn't realize he was so big. But in those glam shots at the end he LOOKS 16 hands. lol Well done!
Best horse video EVER! Thank you for sticking with him. Because of his past, he's not going to give in easily. You've become quite the expert at staying in the saddle, even when he thinks he doesn't want you there. Each time he's testing you to check if you will walk away. Stay the course girl, he's a beauty and you deserve each other.
I love how she never resorted to strong or painful equipment!
He is so lucky to have found someone who lets him be him. I love how quirky he is, and that you have no desire to change him ❤️
How could anyone dislike this video? I mean, you've come so far with Milo Bean!
anna anderson I agree! What is wrong with the 7 people disliking a neglected horse finding a loving home?!
anna anderson probably bit haters 😑
It's because the clicked the wrong thing:)
Beautiful! Thank you for saving Milo! And thank you for taking the time to show him patience, love, kindness and providing him the opportunity to learn to trust again.
I love how real this is. You're not romanticizing what a journey is. You're telling how you feel and how things are and that's so freaking inspiring. I'm super proud of you and Milo, I love following your progress and wish you two the best in years to come!
He is so much fun to watch. I love horses with big personnality and he just won me over in one video.
What a super rider you are Shelby! I'm so glad Milo is with you and not with someone that would not take the time to get to know his personality and sticking with him! Fantastic!
Oh my.. I have so many things I wanna say right now. Idk where to start & I def don't want to come off sounding weird or anything, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from.
Here I go.... CONGRATS on coming so far with Milo. I also want to say thank you to you & your mom for not giving up on Milo when it seemed like the easier thing to do at the time. Perhaps your mom knew he had some valuable lessons to teach you (as most moms usually do) as well as you had things you needed to teach him - above & beyond the "normal" horsey stuff. I can see all the diff quirks in Milo you mentioned in the videos you share. Ive mentiones my fiesty chesnut Arab i had for 26 yrs & how I see a lot of him in Milo. I truly do all the way down to that fire in his eye and the crinkled lil nose whenever he decides its time to do what HE wants & theres no stopping him. My boy was the same exact way but once he got in his 20s he mellowed out a lot. Saying that, it takes a patient, responsible, smart, mature & dedicated person to stick with a horse of that caliber. They're not for everyone & that alone makes the journey w/them THAT much more rewarding. Watching this video helped me re-live some long lost memories i have with my guy, so tyvm, Shelby. Although, i wasnt expecting to have the amount of tears streaming down my face that i do now! Haha! Well worth it tho!! I miss my boy & simply being around horses in general. I hope 1 day I can get over this depression & isolation I've developed since losing my boy and get back out there. Ill prob never own a horse again but if i could just smell them a few days a week, I'd be happy. For right now I'm kinda living vicariously thru you.
I know the highest, top "internet trainers" of the world along with negative/ugly attitudes take a toll on you occasionally, but I truly hope that you honestly know what an amazing person you are & that you do give hope to others that previously had none. You put a smile on the face of this 35 yr old girl who never grew out of the horse loving stage who's a bit beaten up at the moment. From the bottom of my heart Shelby, THANK YOU!! Dont ever stop doing you & what you do. Please never stop loving Milo and most importantly please never give up on him! (Not that I think you will or anything) He will always need you & with a lil patience, there isn't anything that you 2 cannot accomplish with some effort and time. He is yours and you are his and thats just how it should stay until the end of time. ♡♡♡♡♡♡
I read all you wrote and of course I don't know your life, but please, I encourage you to do anything you can to get close to horses again. Not necessarily own a horse but ride someone else's horse once a week or so, bond with him, and I am sure that joy and light will enter your heart and your life again. I spent so many years without horses, but since I started riding again and more importantly caring for horses, spend time with them, just time ... I know that I will never ever again accept to live without them ! Send you good vibes :-)
algypsy17 Thank you very much for taking the time to read my comment & replying! I am trying to get back around horses but when my boy and his field buddy passed unexpectedly, i lost my world and the barn i boarded at. I had been there the whole 26 yrs i owned him & when they both passed, the owner of the barn made the decision not to have horses anymore as the loss was too painful for him as well. Plus he was an older gentleman (pushing 70) & was having trouble getting around & keeping up with everything. I can't afford the prices even for a partial lease. Not to mention my depression & agoraphobia makes it hard for me to be that outgoing person I once was. I have no friends & even when i did, none of them had even seen a horse before.
However, my mom has reached out to a rescue organization on my behalf to see about me volunteering a couple days a week just to get me in the presence of horses again because she knows how important they truly are to my well being. So there's a small bit of hope I didn't have before. I miss the rewards that come with being around horses & they are my 1 true happy place in this world that's become so ugly these days. But thank you again! I truly appreciate your kind words!
I understand you completely ! The loss of your horse and his buddy has been the most painful thing one can imagine and it is absolutely hard for you to recover. You won't really get over it completely, which is normal because you won't ever forget him. But I think your mum's idea is great ! If you could volunteer for rescue horses I truly believe it will do you so much good. Besides, rescue horses are in such need of love and care and you will see in their eyes how greatful they will be. Caring for horses is even more important than riding. The animal is more important than the sports. Horses have healing power ! I went through hard times myself, depression as well and I am a very solitary person, not a people person at all, so I also understand your agoraphobia. Don't ever give up hope, better times will come, it takes time, a lot of time ... but starting with this voluntary activity would really be great I think :-) !!! ♡♡♡
Amanda Ernspiker your comment is so kind and honest💕 You are clearly a very compassionate person with a real love for horses, so I hope you find some ways to reconnect with horses and feed your soul again!
That is a beautiful comment which I also agree completely too. I hope she sees this. I know this won't change anything, but I encourage you to begin riding again. I know this isn't the same, but I lost my dog to cancer a few years ago, which kicked me into depression and caused me to start to decline in school. Horses help me so much, but of course I still miss my dog. A few months ago I decided to try to adopt a rescue dog and he has covered the hole in my heart that was left empty by my dog. Of course it's not the same, but it actually really heals you, and you end up loving them in a different way for different reasons. I'm not saying to go back out there and ride again, but maybe start small by volunteering and working with horses. I swear to you it will make you feel so much better. Sending my prayers to help you get through this hard time.
Glad you stuck with him. You have the lightest touch.
Young lady you are quite the rider. I admire you and you horse. You both are awesome.
5:24 he is so cute when he held the crop for you 😂🥺❤️
This video is so heart warming 💗 the bond between you and Milo is unbreakable 💖💞
Im astonished how far he has come just wow!never ever ever give up on him no matter what he us lovely and has so much potential for riding and jumping. Well done Millo .Even when he bucks he looks amazing well done on how much you have done with him.
Good Job! Not many have the incredible patience you've demonstrated with that horse. Your mom was right as she could probably see that diamond in the rough in the beginning. Keep it going!
he clearly trust and loves you and only having that you get the results as you have
This is one of my favorite videos because you don’t edit out the less than beautiful parts. You show the ongoing transformation, very brave and admirable of you! And I love that you sometimes ride bitless and bareback. Yay! You are a true inspiration. 💜
Thank you so much for allowing us to take this journey with you. This is a great lesson that horses that seem "untrainable", with the right person, can thrive. I believe that once you find your soul horse, you really do know what they need. You are the one riding them and can "read" how your horse will respond and what their training schedule should look like.
Shelby, you have been so brave to continue to upload training videos of your horses when continuing to receive unsolicited advice. You have made it clear that you do not want or need outsiders opinions, especially since they have never even ridden Milo.
So, I have decided to give you some advice... not as a trainer, but as a "mom"! Try your best not to even read negative opinions about you and your training... and just focus on all the good things that are happening with your horses. Spend your energy on positivity for Milo's sake!!
You are going to be able sit any horse after your Milo training! You have amazing tenacity!
He’s such a beautiful horse. You have my utmost respect for not giving up.
I'm full of respect to you for all the great work you have done with him. It's amazing, my dream is one day have a horse that like you did for Milo, I'll be able to teach and make him trust me. I love you and Milo, you are my heroes.
Everything about Milo is beautiful, from his transformation to his looks. ❤️🧡💛
This made me teary eyed.... 😢 the connection and bond that you have with your horse is amazing!
Omg I cried that's such a beautiful transformation. GO SHELBY AND MILO BEAN!!
He is such a beautiful boy! Thank you for reassuring him!
I don't think to know someone that is as patient as you were and are with Milo. You have such a good seat and a very gentle Hand. I have much respect for your work and heart. Greetings from Germany 🙋
These are the horses that really make you grow as a person and as a trainer. They always have such a special place in our hearts ❤
And I thought my horse was bad! Kidding its clear you guys are a match made in heaven
I love how honest you are about your struggles. You show the good and the bad. Thank you for showing your real story.
You guys have a stronger bond than one that takes four years. What I mean is that you guys have a bond that would take a lifetime to achieve, not four years. But what an incredible journey.
Oh my Shelby. I can not tell you how much you encourage me. Watching you being this this loving and patient with milo since day one. I am sorry internet has been putting this horrible pressure on you but you are INCREDIBLE. You and milo both are. You make me feel a little less alone dealing with my horse’s problem because every time I just think if Shelby has been trying this hard with her horse over the past four years I don’t have a reason to not keep trying and working with my horse like she does. Can’t wait for your education event or clinic to start one day haha!
You two have had such an amazing journey so far, I can only imagine the difference in the next four years. you two have made such an incredible difference in each other 💚
Nothing is impossible keep fighting and one day ur passion will become ur new best friend. Never be afraid to tell people there opinion like Milo. Never be afraid to tell someone they have had enough, but keep going like Shelby. Life is a challenge but we have to accept it.
It's funny. My chestnut mare is just like that. Got her when she was two years old and on the way to the slaughter house. She is now 23 and still isn't an easy ride in some ways, but absolutely safe in others. 😅 If you know her, you KNOW. But I could never let just anyone on her back. And still feel safe putting my boyfriend, who isn't a rider (but somehow talented 🤷) or my little girls in her sattle. It was so worth it sticking with her, when I wanted to give up on her. People called her dangerous and crazy, but she isn't. She's just protecting herself and sometimes being silly. 😂 But she knows I can handle it, she's not actually trying to hurt me.
Anyway, Milo reminds me of her at that age. Much Love! ♥️
Wow, he’s a beautiful horse with a beautiful gate.
You are a real inspiration to me! You have opened my eyes to a whole new world of Equestrianism! Love you shelby☺️💕
Oh!!! Oh he was so small and cute!! And he's grown up to be just beautiful. You've done such an amazing job with him, Shelby.
This video actually inspires me.. I'm having a hard time with my own horse.. I got him october last year and I feel like I didn't make any progress at all.. He's scared of almost everything, especially during the winter times, you know when it's cold and freezy. There are times that I'm riding him and the only thing I'm doing is making him stop running. I have times where I actually want to sell him and give up. I have a hard time trusting him, but now I know that if I work hard, I will make progress.. No matter how long that will take! He's not the perfect horse and I know I will fall down a few times, but that's part of horse riding..
5:25 killed me, he is so darn cute!
Wow, I am just amazed. Seeing you two coming so far. Keep it up! Love seeing you two! Sometimes the best horses are the horses that aren't the easiest. We definitely need more TH-camrs like you. Just outstanding. My inspiration!
Thank you for rescuing him!
this video was so beautiful I'm so glad theres people in the world like you
Amazing! You are one of the best, most empathic and bravest riders and trainer I've ever seen. My deepest respect for what you did with this special horse.
I'm so glad you guys found each other. His transformation is incredible. Happy tears
wow how is this possible! so special! Now he loves you so so SO mutch😍
A million a one thumbs up. This one had a lump in my throat. :)
Amazing, how you always came back to riding without the bridle and instead with a lot of trust again and again. This is really a never give up story... I like... a lot! Great job!!!
You are amazing person.With a love for horses
stay safe out there. i was critically injured with a horse like this once. i had two broken arms, two broken elbows, and a broken hip after my horse decided to freak out. I was also headbutted
3:11 is pure trust you guys have come so far
Happy 4th year with such an amazing horse! I'm so exited for many more to come!
Inspiring and beautiful story. You two are meant to be
This is an incredible transformation you should be so proud!!
you have just given me so much hope for the future with my little baby carrot
I love this! You have done amazing things for that horse, and he is absolutely incredible. Thank you for being a positive force in the equestrian world and representing that any horse can have a happy life if given enough love and patience
Just wonderful, maybe your best video ever ! A thousand thanks to your mom who encouraged you !!! You did learn so much from Milo, not only to stay on a bucking horse that would have made fly off anyone else. One would say Milo is the horse of your lifetime, I'd say more : you are Milo's human of his lifetime ! Where would he be without you ? Much much love to both of you ♥♥♥
algypsy17 this is such a lovely comment!
I believe every horse teaching us something to take on to the rest
Both you and Milo are such a huge inspiration to me and numerous others. I wish you two the best on your journey through life together.
WOW!! You feel of several times in this vid, I feel off my horse for the second time 6 months agoand went to the hospital and im still afraid to get back on, I can't get over it.
You and Milo are Soulmates! Thank you for sharing, this brought tears to my eyes (happy ones) ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐴🐴🐴🐴😁😁😁🇨🇦🇨🇦
This gave me chills, it is truly heart warming how you guys have transformed as a team❤️💕❤️💕
could not look away. you are an extremely gifted trainer and rider. Milo filled out nicely. Just a wonderful video.
Horses are amazing. You could have the worst horse and he could be just a little embodiment of Satan but the smallest sliver of improvement in any aspect can give the most amazing feeling of encouragement in the world, it makes you feel like you can just keep going no matter what happens.
Shelby, you have done an awesome job of building a partnership with Milo. He has been your "most difficult student and your greatest teacher". Well done!
You shoukd be so incredibly proud of Milo! And of course yourself! Not many people will go this far with a horse. So much credit to you Shelby! Well done
I love this video so much. Milo honestly sounds a lot like my OTTB gelding but he was not abused at all at the track. He's extremely difficult but his is more on the ground, under saddle he's very consistent even though he is very green still. He challenges me and is un-apologetically honest and demanding. He doesn't take anything less than he thinks he deserves from anyone. I have earned his trust and respect in order to get respect from him. We just went through a short period of stall rest for a large but superficial wound on his leg and he was nasty to deal with and unfortunately he is hurt now and we are in the process of trying to figure out what the injury is with our vet and we are on stall rest again and I'm dreading how miserable he will get and aggressively angry and how far back it will set us with respect once he's off of stall rest. But he is also the best partner I could ask for, he guards me like my dogs do. He is definitely worth every frustrating second
5:21 😂😂 poor chicken.
Great work! I’d love to take on a rescue one day. ❤️❤️
A beautiful horse, a great rider, a wonderful testimony that applies to so many things in life. Thank you.
Aww this is so inspiring y’all have come a long way together you would never guess he was a rescue you are an amazing person and you brought out the best in milo and he brought out the best In you. I can just imagine where your journey takes y’all
What a wonderful evolution! You are beautiful together!
you both are amazing and thankin you you gave me hope to stop leaving my tough rescues out to just live their lives
I love when you do these videos!! You give me so much hope and inspiration. Without you I wouldn't be saving horses today, including a starved 38 year old arabian! And many ottbs
Milo is lucky to have you! and your seat is incredible !!
You should be proud. You've accomplished more than many.
Amazing friendship🏅He is Lucky that you found him. thanks for the video!
Wow that's is really awesome and amazing to see how far you have come and see how he is really trusting you. He looks so sorry for himself at the beginning and now you have got a handsome guy who has a lot of presence now. It was really nice and well put together. I love the photos you are really pretty. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I love your video's and family. Please take care and God bless you all lot's of love from me kelli xxxxxx
Wow Such an Improvement . And a impact in his and in your life wow I hope you 2 are having an awesome day today and every day bye ♥️🤠🐎
You are an outstanding human being!
You've done amazing work with Milo! I'm sure most people would have given up. But you kept on fighting! You not only changed his life for the better. But also his future for the better! Milo has turned out to be a great horse for you. Hard work pays off!!
Milo is a handsome chestnut horse love his stripe on his face and he sure loves to buck a lot glad u stuck with him
You have accomplished so much together, great job❤️
You two are so perfect for each other!
The time and effort you have put into him shows. Its nice to see that you were willing to give the time he needed. Many would have given up and he would have been passed around if it wasn't for you :)
Keep it up, there will still be many challenges ahead of you both. But we all know you will overcome them even after a few falls xD
It’s incredible to see all the progress you two have made with a lot of patience and determination! Keep it up ❤️
That is one brave gal, along with dedication. Damn good !!
Beautiful video! What your trainer said was obvious in your videos of Archie, who seemed so docile and uncomplicated compared with Milo. Your bridleless gallops with Milo were truly remarkable, that took a lot of confidence!
What a journey! May the next four years bring you and Milo only good things; you have done a marvellous job (labour of love) with him.
What a beautiful incredible horse! Good job Shelby!
You're amazing Shelby. Well done for coming so far with Milo. You can tell your bond is unbreakable 💕
That horse had a major glow up
Great job I have gone through a lot with my 16.1 appendix between bucks bolts rears and exaetra you are so inspirational
Wow he is so pretty I’m glad you kept trying!❤️❤️
Milo are you at quite the tram. You and him have cone so far and you can see the way you make him better and he makes you better m. This was a beautiful transformation.
you have done absolutely amazing with him shelby! everytime i see you on him, and see how much progress hes made, im in aw. and watching you develop as a rider is amazing as well.
You both have come SO far. You should be so proud of him and yourself! Thank gosh your mom encouraged you to keep him. He has helped you become such a strong and talented rider. My horse has recently tore a muscle or ligament. He is also the kind that cannot be given time off or he is crazy. We have a couple months left of the stall rest and it is going to be very hard to get him back to where he was. But I only want the best for him.
