The trouble a lot of people have is that they assume everybody does (or should!) feel the same way they do about horses. They do not understand that every horse-person relationship is unique, and that you cannot prescribe exactly how a person expresses that relationship. And what they don't understand, they tend to reject, and once their mind is made up, the door is shut.<br /><br />I feel different about different horses, same as I feel different about different people (that wasn't well expressed, but you know what I mean?). One can be like a pet to me, my buddy. Another just a horse I train or ride. So obviously, another person might have another view entirely on this or that horse. And so long as we all do the best we can for the horse in our care, that is ok.<br /><br />Well, all the best to you for the new year as well. I hope your equine critters will give you lots of good times, like you give to them :-). Hug your horse! Be a horse hugger ;-)<br /><br />Chrisfenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422718635385568842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474976134785709787.post-75656519942466673482009-12-26T14:34:13.347+11:002009-12-26T14:34:13.347+11:00Hi Chris,

I noticed even John Lyons now says horses can be many different things to different people, and that riding isn't always the be-all, quite something for a cowboy to come out with I thought.<br /><br /> Anyway,keep on keeping on :-), keep safe, and Happy New Year. I'm enjoying your blogs,<br /><br />LaurelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203282765233242172noreply@blogger.com
