Good for you for figuring this out. Just the other day I remembered reading an earlier account of you doing this.  Thank you for reminding me exactly how you do this! Maybe your energy "personal force field" looks less chaotic to him…

I had a filly who could sense if a person was evil. We used to foster kids and we got all kinds. We had a 3 month old Quarter horse filly. When this kid came near her she would freak out. This started the first day he was here. She was so…

I'm pretty sure my horse "senses" spirits. A few years ago, a long time before I got Bear, the old bank barn at the farm burned down -- spontaneous combustion in the hay loft after a fresh load was stored. Three horses died in that…

A small warning about bringing feed out to catch a horse, keep an eye out on the boss horse. While my first horse would let me catch him peacefully (except for 4 times a year, I swear the horse kept count) he was in a BIG pasture and I got lazy. So…

I have heard from people in "haunted" areas having horses react to "nothing at all" (experienced horse people.) One of my husbands friends lives right next to the Manassas battlefield in Va., and his barn has a ghost who calls…

Leah, I'm with you! I've always spent allot of time with my gelding, lots of time moseying and playing. For five years now I rarely have to even go into the pasture to get him. I'd say at least 75% of the time he comes to the gate…

Interesting conversation going on here. You can't lie to your horse. They know us better than we know ourselves.

Milena,
I actually looked for you, when we moved back up here, and found a listinf for you. I tried to call, and left a message with someone, but never heard back... so I though perhaps I got the wrong info... Anyway, great to see your name pop up, I think of you all the time, as your painting hangs in our hallway... :-) We are doing well, albeit busy!! I work as a business coordinator at CMMC in Lewiston and we live in Hallowell. I am also working on my masters in Healthcare administration. Dennis is also in grad school, though full time. I have a wonderful Holsteiner, Cadbury, who keeps me quite busy... I hope ou are well, and would love to catch up some time... :-) Sine

Hi Milena, one of the groups here is filled with breeders. It's called Quality Breeders and you can search under groups. A lot of those people work with foals all the time and I'm certain if you post your question thre, they'll be able to help you.
Good luck with it! :)
