Yeah, I know what you mean (about the missing the horse and feeling the pride things). I have really been interested in the Monty Roberts stuff. Anyone else interestedin it/know about it?

I have a two year old that I’m training (I have been since birth) and it is the hardest and most rewarding thing ever in the world. It’s also wonderfully fun and if ever in your life you get the chance to train a young horse (and you are actually ready for it) I recommend it. I don’t recommend it to people who are not ready though. I’ve helped rehabilitate abused horses all my life and actually my filly’s mother was bought from a dealer and she was flighty and hard to ride. Now she’s the best horse ever and I hope her daughter will become that way too.
