Re: [IceHorses] A Story of Electricity and Recognition, Again
I think too Judy they remember us in context. Because all I ever did with Gallant Boy was groom him, give him baths, detangle his long mane, put it up in braids, doctor his eyes, put on a fly mask and go home. Now he has been given to me and he is shut down, afraid of everything and everyone, stands lost in his own dark world, avoiding even the other horses, but when I take him out and groom him, he makes long blubbering sighs and licks and chews and last night, turned and looked me in the eye like "oh now I remember, I know you" and when I went to put him away it was the first time he was not afraid being led across the yard. he never disobeys, always does whatever he asks but is always blowing and showing the whites of his eyes and shaking. but its been 7 months and it just now hit him that I am the one who came and groomed him. Thats what I think! he made the association and let me lead him back to the paddock relaxed. In the total dark :) Janice -- yipie tie yie yo

Re: [IceHorses] A Story of Electricity and Recognition
From: "Judy Ryder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Found it! My husband and I were on a trip in 2001 and were passing thru a friend's town on the way home, so we called ahead of time to see if we could stop for a minute to say "hey". And he remembered me from so long ago! Pretty cool story! Floppy Disks How could you even play them?! Rachel from E KY

[IceHorses] A Story of Electricity and Recognition
Okay, Judy, you've got me hooked. Did you really "know" this horse? I ask because I had the same experience with our adopted daughter Brenda the first time we met. She was living in an orphanage for disabled orphans in Baja, Mexico. She was seven years old, does not look a thing like me - my first trip ever to Mexico, we were not there to adopt. We looked at each other and (if she could have talked) she might have said, "You're here. FInally." She's 21 now, still doesn't walk or talk, but she is the person in the entire universe I am the most connected to, all apologies to husband and birth children of course. Nancy Sturm, Brenda's Mom

I thought maybe it was the angle of the pic that made his head look big or that his dark summer color was coming in? Looking forward to the rest of this story :-) . He seemed the perfect age but I think the ad said professionally trained and not sure what that meant :-( Trish

[IceHorses] A Story of Electricity and Recognition
One of our list members referred a local gal to me to help her find an Icelandic Horse. Several days ago, she sent me this picture and asked if I would go with her to check out this horse. The image was not that flattering, at least to me... looked like he had a big honkin' head, like old Tulle; out of proportion to his body. We met up a few days ago and went to see him.
