Hopes for the Future

These days, Bandit, now a yearling, loves to follow John aboard Sam on trail rides. The experience of bringing home a Chincoteague pony has taught John a lot about patience when training horses.

“When he doesn’t do something exactly right, you can’t get frustrated,” he says. “You have to encourage him.”

The two have a bond that John says nothing could break.

“Bandit gives me hope about my future as an equine trainer,” he says. “And he’ll be always be there for me.”
