Re: [RC] horse angst - Barbara Moultonthere is the right peson for every horse- Joy was a worthless throwaway in the mind of her adopter. Little, plain ol Nevada brown, jughead who would push back with pinned ears, teeth and hooves when you tried to show her who was boss ( cowboy Scott's training style)just like her mother did. Mama went down the road ASAP to be a brood mare at a paint farm- Lucky for both of us we found each other before the door to the kill pen opened up for older mustangs or she would have been out on the range "again" till she got old enough to run through the sale available to any buyer- kind of like aging out of special ed, the clock is always ticking. This summer I gave away a dog for the first time in my life- He is now very happy with a hunting family full of kids and I am no longer trying to turn a walkerhoundX into the closely bonded,affectionate,overrgrown lapdog all my former dogs have been. His attutde was where's the food, what kid can I play with and leave me alone. Seeing Huckleberry in the perfect home for him really helped with the sadness and disapointment.
