Do you do John Lyons or Linda Tellington Jones type ground work with her?
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Nope, don't remember her.
I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?

Frank....DAMN!  You described ME!  You're a fun & funny writer.  It's easy to read the inflections and tones in your humor!  I just had the colonoscopy....You got me wondering....When they put me out did they call in RotoRooter?!?!?!?! How would I know?

Roto rooter leaves a free pencil and a pad of paper. Free well, no, complimentary. No not that either.

Those pics were from 6 years ago.  These days I don't do anything with her except let her be herself.  She is wild caught, but very tame with me.  She trusts nobody else.  I let her out every morning and give her about 12 oz of feed.  I then can go into the fenced pasture and feed the other mare who is a slow eater and needs 32 oz.  The wild one stays out all day in the unfenced pasture while the other gets a flake of hay.  I feed grain again when I get home from work, then toss 3 or 4 flakes of hay into the fenced pasture.  Then my wild one, Patience is ready to be let back into the fenced pasture for the night.

I have read Lyons on Horses.  He is a master of horse training, but I don't care about riding mine, or training her in that way.  She and I have an understanding.  I let her free all day to be wild and she doesn't run off.  She comes like a dog when I call her.  It is good.

Right now she's a woolly bugger, shedding tons of coat.  She doesn't like being touched even by me except for a stroke under her neck or a or a hand on the butt if I go behind her.  Since she doesn't like it, I won't curry her.  I'll just wait for the hair to shed on it's own.  I could do otherwise, but it's part of our agreement.

My horse and I speak a language to one another the only she and I understand.
Always move forward. Never look back.
