Good for you for listening so truly well to your horses. Leggo talks to me with his whole body, especially his ears, and he's very clear about what he likes and doesn't like. Mostly he likes people very well; just didn't like his former owner, probably because she tried to train him as a reiner as a two year old Morgan...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-49656550854061952142007-12-04T17:52:00.000-05:002007-12-04T17:52:00.000-05:00Thanks, Arlene.

Horses seem to communicate on a much higher plane than humans. It seems they just have a special insight into people. Looks like your instincts are on the same level as Silk's and I'm sure she appreciates it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-91040716184226610312007-12-04T05:41:00.000-05:002007-12-04T05:41:00.000-05:00Silk is my emotional barometer.

It's one sign I look for when I'm working with a horse, sort of waking it up from some dullness if you know what I mean. It seems a normal sign of Horse, and so often folks want a horse to pretend they are -- what? happy? Maybe some folks don't even notice the emotional life of our equine buddies. How sad really! Their emotions are so rich! Who needs a soap opera when we have a few horses to watch?!Lasell Jaretzki Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134811219333881818noreply@blogger.com
