Wow...your new equine friend isgorgeous!! I just love horses, but have never had the guts toreally approach them. Of course, it doesn't help that myfirst experience with a horse was when I was about four, and I was saton a horse (which was terrifying enough, mind you...horses are GIGANTICto a four-year-old!). Then the horse decided that was a goodtime to sit down (or something to the effect, all I knew was I wasgoin' down, too!).
Needless to say, I still am quite shy about approachinghorses. But my FIL has offered to fly us three (DH, DD, andme) up to Edmonton sometime within the next year and acclimatize me tolarger animals. (I've always been around med-small animals,NOTHING large.) He plans on taking us out into a meadow-typearea, putting out a bale of hay, and sitting next to it, waiting forthe Elk (Moose?) to come right up. He said that in that area,they're still quite tame around people, as they've been given no reasonto fear us. I don't know just how I'll take it, but I lookforward to it! *nervously laughs*
Anyway, what a beautiful horse...I do love their beauty.
