My momma gave me some good advice, "Stop trying to fit in when you were born to stand out."
My spotted rear got me teased when I was little. I would hear chants of, "Spotty butt, spotty butt, we can't see around the giant spotty butt!" I would get upset and wish I was like everyone else. I would roll in mud trying to cover up my spots, it didn't work-I would just get teased for being dirty and spotty. I decided that all I could do was be the best spotted horse that I could be and that was what I set out to do!
This summer I got to meet a movie star and spend several days with him. When I went to leave he came over and told me what a great horse I am. Wow, me the horse who got teased was liked by someone famous. Momma says it is because I decided to stand out and be my best-not blend in like a sheep.
"Courage is fire, bullying is smoke"
