Having problems with message search?
Laurel,
Guess what I was doing with her..... I had her trotting round me at liberty, I was feeling like Klaus Hempfling and Alexander Nevzorov all rolled into one, Jedda was feeling something else quite different!. Up the energy and you up the emotion, especially if it's an activity they could see as pointless and disrespectful. This was 18 months ago.
This totally has me laughing. What in the world was I thinking???? Yup, I could see Grace and I dancing in the moonlight. . . . Tells you how much I can *read* her.
Thankfully, Grace didn't hurt me this time and hasn't in the past, but she sure can get awfully doggone close!!!! YIKES!!! Safety is always my concern. . . I dunno, she hasn't done that sort of stuff in over a year.
Thank you again, Laurel, for being there for us. Good Golly, this is a tough business emotionally. I don't have much of an ego left after Grace has basically torn it to shreds and stomped on it.
Yesterday I thought "Oh, I'll try and run about like Imke Spilker does", guess what again, Jedda was not impressed, it wasn't "play" for her, why did I think she could handle it? she doesn't know how to play even with the other horses, so she went right on the defensive. Not kicking or anything, just the expression on her face was enough!
You really make me laugh. . .I wanna run about like Imke Spilker too and Alexander Nevzorov. . . maybe if I ever get the urge again, I'll go play with Katie. She loves to dance. . . I just always feel like Grace doesn't get to do the good stuff with me and it makes me very sad.
But, we're working on it and we'll get there and it's all in the journey.. . sigh. . . .
With much love,
Julie & Grace
