She really is. We have such a bond. I swear, I know what she is thinking, saying or wanting. All the time. With animals there is SO MUCH MORE communication then people realize. Their body language, faces they make, tones in their "voices". If one only takes the time to watch and learn. So much communication going on

I'm sure she knows me inside and out too, how I feel, what I think, when I've had enough of her shenanigans, LOL.

She is a very sensitive horse. A stern look or word is enough. Rarely did I have to get stricter then that, and when I do, she is so offended, LOL!! Before I got her, she was used only to give birth every year. She seemed to have no personality. She knew nothing. I was rather new at all this, too. We learned together, not something I would recommend when it comes to horses. There was a bit of blood, sweat and tears. But years later, we are as solid as can be. My family adores her, even people afraid of horses trust her.

She will be with me till the end. Even though certain health issues mean less riding or eventually retirement for her. I just enjoy being around her. I enjoy the physical labor and being out in nature that comes with owning a horse.

I'm not surprised, though, that she felt the danger nearby. More so then other horses, as she is smart and very sensitive to anything going on.
