It's been a busy week

Things have been pretty busy since my last post. I'm not sure where to start. I met some really neat people, Karina and Kirk - their website is http://www.themirroreffect.com/. Kirk is a farrier and Karina is a trainer. They are more than just those things, I don't think I can accurately describe everything they do. Looking up the website would be the best way to get an understanding of them. I can accurately say that Karina has worked with myself and 3 other close friends and has made some pretty remarkable changes in all of us. And has inspired others that just listened.
I now have a clearer understanding of where Chance has come from and why things have been
tough for him. I didn't realize or maybe didn't take into consideration the differences between Maine and the western part of the country. Not only is the terrain totally different, so are the smells, animals, tack, and his training. He might as well have been dropped off in a foreign country! Also the white spots on his body are really scars from tack that didn't fit and equipment used to manage him. From some of the behavior he shows he has most likely been roped and treated pretty badly.
The good thing is that I do have a better picture of his past life which will help me help him.
