Re: [RC] Training advice (backing up thread) - Zephyr ArabiansThis was sent to me privately, so I'm not IDing the sender... Horses are very entertaining, aren't they, a lot more fun to be around than people-- I find watching my horses interact with each other endlessly facinating and relaxing. In fact, spending time with them out in pasture ranks up with cuddling with my cats as an anti-stress activity. For instance, last winter was very high-stress for me for a variety of reasons. During the week, and sometimes even on weekends, I wouldn't even see my horses in daylight. I was feeding pre-dawn and then wouldn't be back home until late at night to feed them dinner (9pm - midnight most nights). I found that the most relaxing part of my day was after I'd fed I'd just stand out in the pastures with them. I'd check them over with a flashlight & my hands and talk to each of them, but mostly what I'd do is stand there in the dark and listen to them eat and breathe. It really helped me unwind from my day. I brought my husband out with me one night to share the experience, but he said they made disgusting noises when they eat. Non-horse people. What can you do about 'em? ;) ~Nicole Zephyr Arabians http://www.zephyrarabians.com KattWmn Web Design http://www.kattwmn.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
