Update On Sheyenne >>>
A colorful mask has been added to Sheyenne’s “sunglass collection”. And she’s feeling pretty snazzy in it today! We have had a really good past month, no big uveitis flare ups, enjoying life again and Sheyenne continues to adapt to her surroundings better and better each day! Sometimes the other horses will pick on her, but every day I see her confidence continue to grow!! Taking Sheyenne on trail rides is my favorite, because that is when I am able to forget all the change; things will never go back to how they used to be…Sheyenne use to be independent, I use to rely on her and she was my leader through life. But now, I work daily to build her independence back, she relies on me for pretty much everything and I am her leader through life. Now that the traumatic period of uveitis has passed, the reality of what it has left us is starting to set in. I’m not going to lie…it has been a hard adjustment. But somehow when I’m on Sheyenne’s back, we are still ONE and they are the best days!
Along with the hard stuff lately, I am also overwhelmed with thankfulness and gratitude. This season of life has taught me so much, it has shaped me into a better person and has helped me grow in a deep way — i know this trial will come in helpful in what life throws me next. I will be forever grateful for the blessing Sheyenne is in my life, the support system of friends I have and for God having a plan in ALL things!! Thanks for reading my raw emotion and following me on this journey!
