I had Arwen ...Oh I read you completely on this one! I had Arwen for two years and it was another story-book relationship (I had her in my garden too!), she followed me wherever I went - more like a canine than an equine. It was perfect! I got a second mare (Sahara) because I wanted to be able to ride out with friends, and I thought it would make Arwen happy to have some company. To my surprise, Arwen never liked a second horse, and still, she is more solo than any other. Sahara however, who is now my friend's horse, LOVES having a herd, so these days I let Arwen be on one side of the garden with the humans and let the other horses who like to be together be on the other side where they are free to disturb each other as much as they like! I too often get caught in "which horse needs the ride the most" and sometimes I find myself wishing it was just me and Arwen... then I would have time to groom, braid her tail (that's been ages!), sit and read with her or just hug. I love when I do something in the garden and she comes up behind me and smells my hair and my neck, then starts to lick my arms and rub herself against my back...Esther Garvihttp://esthergarvi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-70869849913324953292011-06-03T07:51:48.593-07:002011-06-03T07:51:48.593-07:00We have many.

My excuse is that horses are herd animals and don't like living alone. :)Rosannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-37129211635027233982011-06-02T10:05:23.151-07:002011-06-02T10:05:23.151-07:00I hear you!

I have multiple horses already, but only one ready for endurance...and I've recently decided that I love the sport too much to limit my options to one mount. Time to get a backup horse ready!BarbeyGirlhttp://inthenightfarm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-55059077586678267912011-06-01T19:42:22.728-07:002011-06-01T19:42:22.728-07:00I have sometimes wished that I could afford to hav...I have sometimes wished that I could afford to have two horses...but seriously, I could ride Hana whenever I want, and I don't. I pretty much ride Fiddle whenever I can, and ride Hana only when I NEED to ride and CAN'T ride Fee. And there will always be a horse around that I can borrow for days like this....<br /><br />Now, if I could hit the lotto and quit my job, it would be a totally different story.AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569818745110332355noreply@blogger.com
