After rides while cleaning tack, when I'm grooming or giving him a trim, there will be hugs, nibbles + licks. He's inclined to grab my hood, or steal a hat and take off giving major side-eye. He loves selfie time. He's an only horse at the moment, and I wonder if he'd be quite as affectionate if he had an equine friend...Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-36261963277499240952016-12-14T17:21:10.490-05:002016-12-14T17:21:10.490-05:00Moe is 100% all about the cuddles!

He just likes people- he hangs out in his stall with me while I'm cleaning it, follows me around while I set jump courses, and hangs his head over the fence to watch me walk back into the house until he can't see me any more. <br /><br />Gina, however, is not about cuddles at all. She tolerates hugs only when accompanied by treats.

He was a sweet and kind horse but had been neglected and abused for so long he also had a very dangerous side to him. I made a lot of progress with him and by the time I rehomed him he was a pretty well behaved boy (not to mention a few hundred pounds heavy and without ulcers!). I recently saw a picture of him and he looks amazing. Thoroughbreds really are amazing horses. I can't say I know many who would rebound like he did.

They often aren't showered with affection at the track like they are in sport homes (obviously this varies, and not showered with affection doesn't mean never shown affection or cuddled!). I've seen some act completely surprised when excited 12 year old levels of cuddling descend on them. All that time with people really preps them for it, though.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-45181520729514401372016-12-14T11:07:16.994-05:002016-12-14T11:07:16.994-05:00Eventually it'll become habit, right!?Eventually it'll become habit, right!?Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-57297839081466752412016-12-14T10:24:48.479-05:002016-12-14T10:24:48.479-05:00Haha!
