If he's been thru a lot of hands, he may just be waiting, to see if this latest turn of events is worth putting any emotional effort into a relationship. My first Fjord was 17 when I got her. Nansy had only had one owner, but she'd been sent off for breeding several times, hauled to various shows, used in "petting zoo" type demos, etc. When she got to my place, her attitude at first was that this was just another of many "one night stands", so why bother. She wasn't hostile, just not particularly interested in working at being friendly. It was something like 6 MONTHS before she decided that she was going to be at our place long enough to "invest" in relationships with us. (The fact that, at first, I kept inviting friends over to meet her probably didn't help---more strange faces to sort out.) Anyway, be patient with your boy. It may take him a while to trust that you're not going to "sell him down the river" at any moment.
