I have been fortunate in having had that with several over the years. Each one is and was special in their own way.

I think it is good if we can find the thing that horse likes to do and do it, rather than trying to fit every horse into the mould of what we like to do best. Working with a happy partner outweighs my own ambitions, both with my horses and dogs, because in the end I am in it for the fun and connection and that comes best with a partner who is also into what you are doing. Gosh you should have seen my nieces at pony club camp yesterday! Both their ponies love to jump and you can see their little pony faces light up when they get to do it. They are great ponies and do everything that is asked of them, but jumping is their thing for sure! Thanks for the link, I really enjoyed it!

I will be honest, I have tried to imagine myself selling him, but I can't. There is something in the way he looks at me, we have a connection. I am his person. You would have to be present to see how he is when strangers are around to full grasp how important I am to him as well. He has been known to hide behind me when he is unsure of what a stranger wants from him. When I ride him I am so comfortable, it just feels natural to me, more so than any other horse ever has. Even with all his quirks and fears and things that we have been through, I love riding this horse more than anything. I love all my horses, but don't necessarily enjoy riding them all. I wish I could find the words that really describe what it is between us. Maybe someday I will do a blog post on just that. The connection.

I love long trotting, its my favorite gait, and really good for conditioning.
