I agree, Milli Ann, and see it with my fjords. My daughter and our mare, Lena, are a close knit pair. Lena has a "little attitude" now and then but immediately goes to work, no matter what, for Miss Anne. Sven? Well, I remember when I first got him. He had been owned by a family for 10 years and they LOVED him so much. Since he was my first fjord and I was not totally "into" the mentality of fjords, it took us awhile to bond. I had to relearn a few things (he was a kind and patient teacher) ........but, once I figured it all out, we became solid buddies. We trust each other and have so much fun together. That "bond" is a wonderful dance. In my experience, I often say, it takes a full year.......going through all the seasons and many experiences.......to become securely connected as a team with any horse. Or, maybe I am just slow :):):) Whatever, once that bond is reached........ain't nothin' better!!! Linda in MN home with the flu and missin' my horses! >From: "M.
