I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before! Loving all the pictures here.
I have an Egyptian Arabian mare who I can't WAIT to be able to ride again! I've been visiting her and taking her for walks like a dog around the farm (LOL), but it just isn't the same. It is sweet how she had gotten more protective of me in the field--she never liked other horses coming up to me (or more likely her treats...), but she's been more insistant that everyone give me plenty of space. Yesterday I was out visiting and just generally fussing over her when she carefully backed well away from me before attacking a huge fly on her neck. It was funny as she's not usually one to show that much self-restraint--she's normally a react first and ask questions later kind of gal when it comes to her own comfort!
Fingers crossed that I'll be back on my fiesty steed soon.
I'm with you! My trainer finds me somewhat silly to not ride Memphis as she considers him to a big dopey dog more than a horse, but the though of him spooking at something makes me leery. At the moment I have a 13 year old girl that is fearless that has fallen in love with him. If I can just get her to drop the reins a little we'd be in business.
