Hi Karen,
I think any horse takes time to adjust to a new home and new people. My
mare was a cuddlebug from day one but our gelding took several months to
settle in and it was close to a year before he was affectionate and
welcomed lots of attention.
We've been having a blast hauling our firewood in from the woods. Osa
loves to pull! Her attitude is so much more positive when doing draft
stuff than when riding! A partridge came up practically under her nose
the other day and she just twitched her ears. She'll stand all day
waiting for us to finish loading just looking around the woods. What a
great girl.
We are looking for some sort of clips to attach the trace extenders to
the tree. We've tried several methods of attaching the chain to the
tree and feel there must be some piece of hardware out there that would
work better and quicker. Anyone have suggestions? Osa's pulling a sled
(old snowmobile runners with a box built on top to hold split and cut up
fire wood), we put two bales of hay in it for seats for people when
it's not in use for wood.
Jane, in Maine where it snowed today and now is raining. Many people's
wells have gone dry in the last few months and we're all a little
nervous that it'll freeze hard before we get enough rain to refill them....

Now, here's my theory. I bought this guy at auction. The lady
selling him said she'd had him since Feb and only picked him up to
resell. I know he was bred in NM. I figure I'm either his third or
fourth owner in his four years. (I bought him, coincidentally, on his
fourth birthday.) So, maybe he is just reserved about bonding with
humans? Waddayathink?
