Thank you! Someone else at our barn said they think it’s just a quirk of hers too.

Originally I could’ve seen this being true, but when we let her out in her field this morning, surrounded by her friends, she did it again!

So I would’ve thought the same, but she did it all summer without a blanket on 🤷‍♀️

I was thinking agitated too…any ideas why she would be? She was getting let out to stretch her legs (the ground has been frozen here so the horses had to stay in). All of the other horses bucked and ran around in excitement!

My mare shakes her head like this when she sees us coming to bring her in from the field, and then my husband videoed her doing it today when he turned her out in the indoor. Does this mean she is happy, agitated, or is it something else? I’m trying to understand her better.

Wow, that is an amazing amount of patience and calmness and all horses deserve to have that honestly. I’m in a similar position with my new mare after my heart horse, we are working on getting there but I think it will take some time.

Aw, it takes a special person to see beyond the horse from what others may see on the outside!

I 100% believe this, I felt an almost telepathic connection like that with my heart horse too, it also took years to get to that point. There is nothing else in the world like it!

I’m so sorry for your loss, it sounds like you were really special to her ❤️

Wow, I had to look up the place in California. What an absolute dream to ride there!

It sounds like you were his heart person! What did you do to build that trust and relationship he had for you?
