The Boss


Little Mama has her daddy and I to teach her, love her, and guide her. However, she also has the Boss. The Boss is Little Mama's trainer, and has been for the last three years. When LM first came to the Boss she was a skinny, little shrimp and stood as tall as the Boss' shoulder. Pictured are LM and the Boss in Florida last March. Who's looking down at who now?


Boss' training covers many aspects. Sure she is there instructing LM in the ways of the horse, but she has also been known to address topics such as dating, boys, sex ed, kissing, driving, personal health and hygiene, etc.

And the Boss is, well she's the Boss. She and LM's relationship is complicated, and there is no easy way to describe it. Sisters? Yeah sort of. Friends? Most definitely. Parent and child? That too. Psychologist and patient? Yep. Teacher and student? Obviously. The list goes on and on, and changes daily.

Most important to me though is that Boss loves LM like she's her own and always has her best interest at heart. A rarity in the ridiculously crazy world known as the horse business.
