[RC] re: horse personalities - Carrie - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFLike Michelle, my first horse after an 18 year break ended up throwing me 5 or 6 times in the first year and I almost sold her. Something in me told me to hang in there and I'm so glad I did. This horse has taught me more than I could EVER have taught her. And she is solely responsible for taking me into the world of endurance. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd EVER try something like that, much less finish and do well! But I came to find that she needed a job she loved, so that's the direction we took . . . together. We had a really rough beginning. A lot of mistrust and head-butting went on, but now she is my partner and I wouldn't change any of it for anything. She still gets a little crazy sometimes, but at least I understand her. :) She's my little red Ferrari and I love her. Carrie I would comment on this, in that depends on how much you want to learn and grow from your horse.? When I was looking for my first horse, I knew nothing else other than "I want a horse I feel safe riding out on the trail alone with".? If I had delved further into my own personality and what horse personality would best mesh with my own, I would have NEVER gotten the horse I ended up with, lol.? We've had our ups and downs, but we're bonded now, she (mostly) understands me, I (mostly, ha ha) understand her, I love her to pieces, and I can't imagine myself with any other.
