First whinny - flashback

Mon Aug 27th, 2007 12:12 pm

She's really a sweetheart. My husband teases that I love her more than I love him. I just don't have the heart to tell him he's right!

She whinnied for me on Friday and I just melted. I'd gone to get groceries and hollered at the kids to get in the house. She heard me and whinnied. I was so excited! She's now nickering at me every time I go out. She's also letting me scratch her blaze and she's rubbing her head harder against my hand and turning her head so I can get her ears and poll.

She's really a doll and I'm so thrilled with her. I'm under no illusions that it's all going to be a cakewalk, but she's got such a great personality that I think we'll do pretty well.

As sweet as she is it's hard for me to imagine someone hitting her with a rope. I know it happens and it's obviously happened to her by her reaction. I've been taking the lead rope out with me every time I go. Sometimes I clip it on her, sometimes not. But my hope is that she'll realize it's not the much feared North Carolina Horse Eating Rope.
