This message is from: Linda Lottie <[email protected]> Lisa.......she is a "mare" LOL I've owned 4 mares......all but the Gotland were sweethearts who showed no heat sign or snottiness. But, Miss Salika has an attitude and just has to fuss about every little thing :) Yet, I like her. She is spunky and I love when she does settle in and allows herself to enjoy some time together. She is 23, lame in her shoulder, so a pasture pony. I've know mares of other breeds that had major attitude issues...... Who knows why....... Linda
