Horses are definately the most incredible animals ever. They are so sensitive and seem to always know what is going on with us and usually can fix it.Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:53:06 GMTdoctor_dryhttp://board.horsechannel.com/Topic299985-4-1.aspxCongrats, ur riding instructer seems like such a good person. The bond between horse and person is incredible. My horse always knows when Im sad, or dealing with guy problems. I go to his pasture and hug him, he makes me laugh with some stupid thing he does, and it cheers me right up.Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:44:27 GMTI luv Chex and Angelhttp://board.horsechannel.com/Topic299985-4-1.aspxThat's so sweet! The bond that a horse and human can have is truly something else, isn't it?Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:57:55 GMTequidae_fanhttp://board.horsechannel.com/Topic299985-4-1.aspxHow sweet!<img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.horsechannel.com/Skins/Horse/Images/EmotIcons/Smile.gif" border="0" title="Smile"> I know exactly what you mean about the "Black Stallion" bond. I have the same kind with my horse. Yesterday, he was running around in his new paddock with the other horses, and as soon as I came in, he galloped straight up to me and put his head in my arms. It's really incredible to have that type of bond with a horse. Congratulations, and best of luck in your future together.<img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.horsechannel.com/Skins/Horse/Images/EmotIcons/Smile.gif" border="0" title="Smile">Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:33:53 GMTSwing_Away111http://board.horsechannel.com/Topic299985-4-1.aspxWOW....thats a pretty long post, but thats a sweet story. My horse came to be mine by means of dealing w/o papers or breeding rights. He was my Christmas present back in 2006. I thought I was NEVER going to get another horse!!Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:59:49 GMTrockerchick93http://board.horsechannel.com/Topic299985-4-1.aspxSo I'm 16... I've loved my horse, Silver for 3 years that I knew him. I fell in love with him at the first barn when I was 13, almost 14. Whenever I walked down the road, he would whinny and squeal for me out the &#119;indow. I could never walk past the barn without going through it to say hi first. We always rode bareback, and most of the time, I'd sit on him while he grazed and talk to him. I would brush him, clean his stall, and give him so much attention. I didn't know much about horses, but I learned as I went, and every once in a while, the barn owner would give me a lesson on him, when she felt like it. Silver and I were inseperable. I never owned him by papers, but I did by my heart. But something personal happened where I couldn't go down to that barn anymore and I was devastated. It hurt so bad that the pain was indescribable. I loved that horse. When I missed the bus from school and had to walk home past the barn, he'd poke his head out the window saying "please come here." But I wasn't allowed. I hated it. So I go to this new barn later, and it was a blessing. My riding instructer became very special to me very fast. I felt like she saved my life; she took some of my hurt away by giving me love and care. But my horse was still missing. I tried liking another horse, but it wasn't the same at all. So one day, I'm going to my mom's house, and I see her horse trailer and truck sitting there. I got so excited, but I also told myself that she just may be droping hay or sawdust off for some odd reason. I get to the barn Tuesday, and everyone's standing in the front of the barn. My instructor tells me to go brush this new horse in the very last stall... I turn around and grin "I saw your truck at her house sunday!" I knew. I gave her a big hug. I ran back there, gave him his usual apple for the first time in months, and hug him. I'm crying hard with joy. He didn't remember me for a few days, but then he did, and started to nicker for me. He was in a new place, and is more shy, but he eventually got out of that. They moved him to a stall closer to the front eventually, and he got more friendly with everyone after he got used to it. They found him at the other barn 2 feet in mud in his stall, dirty, and god knows what else. But they cleaned him up, and I got to ride him bareback that day. He was more wild, like he hasn't been ridden for a while, but he got better. He had to go back to that place though, she got him on lease for free. That day came before my birthday, and that day, I was crying and telling him I loved him. But my instructor said "I have to run some errands." She came back and asked me "If there's anything in the world you would want for your birthday, what would it be?" I said "Silver". SHE PULLED HIS PAPERS OUT and said "He's Yours." My sadness turned into joy. I hugged her, crying, and said thankyou I don't know how many times. To this day, our relationship is stronger than ever. He whinnies and squeals for me everytime I say his name. When I come in his stall, He puts his head on my chest and hugs me. He lets me hold his head in my arms to pet him, and we have our own body language. He tells me where he wants to be scratched. He always voices his opinion on matters such as "come here and give me attention" to "let me out!". He's a great ride for me, and is very willing. We've jumped, rode saddleseat, huntseat, western (95% is bareback and huntseat, mostly bareback), bareback, and more. He's very sweet. He's like that dream horse everyone wants to have, like you'd see in movies. He follows me, and the best part is when I was in his stall lying down. Normally, he aggrovates me to give him attention. But this morning, he layed down with me!!! I layed next to him and we both napped. But he's amazing!!! He just makes me feel special. One day, I was upset comming from school, and he hugged me for the longest time, like he knew. He always heals me. And galloping through the barn bareback, goodness, don't get me started on that! It's beyond words, like feeling free. He is a true blessing. He wouldn't be with me today if the barn didn't pitch in and help my instructer to pay for him. But the whole barn is like heaven to me. My instructer is like my mom now, and she is as special as my horse. Just her hugs mean the world to me. and I tell her everything, and trust her more than anyone. Silver though, and her? How did I get so lucky?Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:52:42 GMTSeathion
