Even if you cloned your favorite horse, you might not end up with the same
horse you remember.  Nature isn't all that either we or horses are about.
There is also nurture.  I have the horse in the whole world who is perfect
for me and when the technology made cloning possible, I used to daydream
that if I had the money, I would clone my Sun.  But...since I was never
going to have the money, I played my dream out to its logical
conclusion....which is that I am old now.  I am a different person than I
was 25 years ago.  Sun is the culmination of a perfect relationship between
a woman and a horse neither of whom exists any longer.  Sun and I went
everywhere together, we tried every trail we could find, we got ourselves
into trouble and out of it and we learned in the process.  When I first got
him, Sun was a very middle of the herd horse.  Because I adored him, he
began to see himself as pretty hot stuff and that changed the way he treated
the world, the trail and the competition.  We are our DNA but we are also
our experiences.
