great job Apache, crossing a bridge is sometimes a BIG deal for horses. In fact, that's my theory for covered bridges, so the horses (and cattle) wouldn't realize that they were going over a bridge.
Nice photos, you two are Super Horse and Wonder Woman.It is so nice to see you two growing together, if that horse doesn't give you back your confidence nothing will. I really look forward to reports of your first Summer together.
Lisa, thanks for crossing my Bridge on The Bridge of Truth! I thot the same thing when I opened this post of yours! Bridges are for connecting! That's how we connected! :) and your Apache and you are more connected now - since crossing this Bridge together. She took you safely to the otherside -Isn't it great to be able to trust your horse? I hope you see the goodness that God has placed in your hands with Apache. He smiled sooo Big when His hand-picked horse carried you safely to the otherside!! Yes Yes Amen! He cares for YOU!! You are richly blessed!
Hugs, I appreciate you. Patrina <")>>< His watchman on the wall

On Re-Homing an Animal:
"Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give an animal is to recognize that that they might be better off somewhere else and then finding that somewhere for them." and
"The best animal owners are the ones who recognize the animal's needs over the preservation of their own pride and selfishness."

Good trail partners are not just about keeping pace – it is about riding with people who will inspire and encourage you. Good trail horses are generally made rather than found. The horses that have surmounted some baggage are doubly esteemed because they required their rider to dig a bit deeper. ~Horsebytes

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.
