Hoooorayy! i LOVE horse talk !

And to be quite honest, my horses are mostly just 'pasture pets'.....it's not like I've ridden in any derby's or anything !

And 2Claws, I had to laugh (about the 'smelling' the horses bit) !
I KNOW what you mean!!! I LOVE the way horses smell!

So, if I actually ever ride again or not......at least i have that 'special' time I can spend just sitting with them while they eat (I also love the sound they make when they eat......chomp chomp chomp......it's soothing!)
SO! If people think YOU are 'crazy' then, I'm right there with ya!

And YES! Horses DO 'know' when we need a 'hug'........
On several occasions, when I was particularly 'down', I'd go out to the pasture to just sit, cry, see the sunset...... well, the times when I'd break down crying......my precious 'Dillon' and "Lucky" would come over to me and just stand there and rest there big ol' muzzle on my shoulder ....or the top of my head...... innit sweeet?!

I'll be happy to at least be able to still take care of them, brush them, talk to them.......
Thanks guys for the horse chat

Here's hoping for pain free days!
