She seemed stand offish. She's not an affection seeker.<br /><br />But in the last six weeks - I've owner her for almost two years now - our relationship has shifted. That connection is now apparent to me and her. <br /><br />I think it's hard for mares who have been passed along to owner after owner. Maybe she has just been waiting to see if I was reliable. But now both our hearts are connecting.<br /><br />Sometimes you fall in love. Sometimes it grows over you slowly. And sometimes, you're just friends.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104422629934443842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-32883798993981365862011-09-22T15:56:59.804-07:002011-09-22T15:56:59.804-07:00Aah Chelsi, you've probably just put into word...Aah Chelsi, you've probably just put into words exactly how many of us horsewomen feel and what we truly desire. That of achieving not only a good working relationship of mutual respect, but also to feel love from our equine companions. I too, at times feel like I need to do a little growing up, or maturing and see the horse as a horse; and stop humanizing their every action. *sigh* I guess you're right...many of us are romantics at heart and just cannot seem to help it. Guess there's nothing really wrong with it. I am so happy for you that you've found a wonderful bond with a horse, especially from someone you didn't expect to find that relationship. Funny how that seems to happen, isn't it? You get what you're looking for when and where you least expect it...

I want to be connected to my horse, and have just recently come to that goal rather than wanting to be loved by my horse. The other day, after not seeing Pippi for a few days, I walked towards her at a show, and called her name.(Daughter had taken her there with Trainer) She turned her head to see me, whinnied and started trotting in place. That's enough. She clearly enjoys my company, or at least welcomes it, and why should I ask for more? I do so cherish the quiet moments with her, and create them as often as I can. Thos moments are more about us, the two creatures, being together for a moment, rather than her being for me.Emmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012039482291111043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-60558962312518614712011-09-15T11:50:29.421-07:002011-09-15T11:50:29.421-07:00I've always wanted that feeling too!

What I personally have always loved about our "relationship" is that she will can also be pretty herdbound toward me. I always thought it was kind of strange when she would run around & whinny like a maniac when I'd turn her out & the leave to go clean her stall. Although I don't really know all THAT much about my horse's psyche that one thing at least makes me feel really good. Also when someone else rides her I always see her looking at me like "WTF DUDE!!??" LOL. Good blog post. :-)Amers425https://www.blogger.com/profile/03582167045638424227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-46498516592555892182011-09-15T11:16:53.025-07:002011-09-15T11:16:53.025-07:00I think this is important growth for you, Chelsi. ...I think this is important growth for you, Chelsi.
