I think, perhaps, you were a horse in a former life.... though I can imagine the heart-stopping fear when you were in the moment.<BR/>Thanks for this post.Deejbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143307437996045353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-32845616594716280362008-09-27T16:41:00.000-04:002008-09-27T16:41:00.000-04:00After a day inside I guess a little horseplay is e...After a day inside I guess a little horseplay is expected. It's great the way you grounded yourself and kept calm and in return Siete calmed right down too. That was a wonderful way to handle things, I always feel that less is more and it's usually the best way to handle a bad situation.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-23361665128592465612008-09-27T14:32:00.000-04:002008-09-27T14:32:00.000-04:00Thanks, you guys - I'll tell you, I didn't feel ve...Thanks, you guys - I'll tell you, I didn't feel very confident when I walked out of the barn and saw what was going on. I posted this because I was still feeling surprised that Siete listened to me. My horses have really helped me learn to face confrontation and stay calm. It's been one of their greatest gifts. I'm always amazed when I do it and it works.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-27221327499998550972008-09-27T13:25:00.000-04:002008-09-27T13:25:00.000-04:00That was a horse whisperer moment, Victoria. Well...That was a horse whisperer moment, Victoria. Well done. Others would have gotten out the equipment and started to make her run around and around out of punishment or hit her, and attacked her as the predators we are. You stood your ground and took control when she couldn't keep control of herself. Perfect.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I bet you do the same thing when your daughter loses her self-control too. I don't see you as the yelling, screaming mom...you have your anchor in the storm. It's only in the storm that you find out how strong your anchor really is!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778984447862051172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-55665431955059232412008-09-27T11:13:00.000-04:002008-09-27T11:13:00.000-04:00You are definetly the leader of your herd.
