I know what you mean; when I first got Hnisa, I was told not to ride because of a neck injury (for which I later had surgery). So, we took lots and lots of walks over, around and through Linda's property. I would sometimes just sit on the ground next to her and watch her eat. Truth be known, I would sometimes read to her (she loved my book of Cowboy Poetry). Anything to spend time with her. I waited since I was 4 years old to have my first horse (I got her when I was 50!), so you can imagine my need to just look at her!! > it's really hard now learning how to 'have' > two.

Her winter coat is coming in a little, and is at the point of what I call "the best kind of stuffed animal." I love getting my arms around that!! L, Gail __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I haven't been able to ride (but plan to), yet simply get so much joy just hanging out with him. He's been an only child for several years now, so it's really hard now learning how to 'have' two. Riddari is so adorable and wants to be a pocket pony and Faxi only allows him alloted time with 'his' human. Well, I guess that's progress.at least now he's not chasing him out of the pasture anymore. I was just about to finally send Judy some photos when all hell broke loose. I'll wait till she gets settled. I got an email from her last night. Yeah! I'm sure you can't wait to see your own sweet mare. Bernadette > >

Re: [IceHorses] Hnisa/Judy our herione
Well I'll bet all will be anxious to get home. Wish there was something we could do. I'm in Gilroy; but Judy has been such a special friend and encourager and mentor to me with Faxi and also with my newest addition, Riddari who just was delivered up to me from Escondido a month ago. Phew. Judy has encouraged and taught and encouraged and taught (some of us are a little slower than others), I could never thank her nor survive without her patience and support. I pray she will be settled soon. Bernadette
