Re: [RC] Training advice (backing up thread) - Jo Ann KnightThis was a sound I missed till I got hearing aids! Not the louder stuff but the more subtle sounds. Now I just hang out and feel blessed that I can now hear all the little sounds I had missed for years. I was born with limited hearing but of course it got worse as I got older. I can't imagine anyone calling it disgusting, but then I was taught smacking your food at the table was disgusting, so it is a matter of perspective.

Especially in the winter, when everything is quiet and calm and it's nighttime, and you can see their breath and you hear crunch crunch... all's right with the world! And I loff the way horses smell! I can just bury my face in a horse's neck and breathe... It's a better smell than puppy breath,even! chris Zephyr Arabians <z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: 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 I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
