Icy spent the night in the stall and cleaned up every bite of hay. I put him back in the same pasture this morning and put Coin in with him. They said hello and started eating grass like they’d been best friends forever. It was so nice. Thanks for helping get him to us (and…

“Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Carrot”. Communication – Learning to Understand Your Horse
I think I said yesterday that feeling through that bit, I could feel that Aly and I were talking to each other, and indeed we were, we both knew that each other were there, we both were having feelings, I was all excited and atwitter about being on my own horse for the first time, who wouldn’t be!
