This message is from: "Laurie Pittman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm so glad to see these topics brought up!! Some people would call Tor stubborn, but I've come to realize that he's not. He is, however, the most determined and strong willed horse I've ever had. He is totally convinced that the world should go by his rules and he's quite willing to share that opinion with you. He also knows darn well how strong he is and how to use it to his advantage if he thinks he can get away with it. And there is little doubt in my mind that he does *think*. Thank God we've come a long way in learning to work together.
Also, Tor can be very creative (unfortunately for me) when it comes to amusing himself. I can no longer use those white step-in posts that they use for portable hot pens. I used to use them to section off the pasture, but Tor thinks it's fun to go down the line and pull them up, without breaking the 3 strands of hot wire that's on them, and then proceeds to destroy them! I had him in one of these pens at a clinic once when a woman came up to me and told me my horse was being *bad*. I looked around the corner of the trailer and saw that he had a hold of a post and had it bent half way to the ground before he finally got zapped. He just let go of it and looked at us like "Whhhhhaaaat?" *sigh* I'm very pleased to say that he did stay in the pen, (yes, I did have my doubts). That's all for now : ) Laurie
