Very nice , I enjoy your articles. Not sure I’ve told you but growing up
I had a friend that basically owned a rescue horse from a bad situation. I remember how much time and love it took for the horse to ever trust again, and she reserved that trust to only a few of us. My friend did a great job helping the horse recover and become rideable. It helped me understand and respect their space and safety first. I always brought the horse a treat after awhile I’d change pockets to see if she’d figure it out . It got to be a game . Flame would frisk me until she figured out the pocket sniff one pocket or the other then when she found it pretty much tell me with body language hey I found it give it up. 😊
I love that! You discovered what so many of us have, that a horse is desirous of a relationship with us. She was appreciative of that paycheck you had in your pocket, and she knew you had it there to give. Because what is a paycheck, after all? It's an acknowledgement of effort, time, relationship, to name a few.
