#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#She is VERY quiet and as much as I think SHE is quiet, her full sister Chai Latte is even MORE quiet and calm no matter what we ask her to do ...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#GG's babies all seem to be like that - just really nice and laid back and calm. Thank goodness! #ed_op#IMG src="/richedit/smileys/classic.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You know, she's the first horse I have ever decided to keep from the minute she was born. Yes - I have a horrendous price tag on her head, and maybe a Trump #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley2.gif"#ed_cl# or a Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid could/would come up with the price on her, but I really dont want to sell her and if it came right down to it, I dont think I would.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Not only are her colouring and markings the absolute epitome of what I am looking to produce, but her conformation and movement and personality and overall *look* is really just about flawless. The genetic Gods all lined up perfectly for me with her, in every way possible, and I am so grateful for that. I may go 10 years or a lifetime and never produce another one of her, ever ...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#What I notice as well with her is if I scritch her neck and tell her it is okay, she visibly relaxes and calms right down. She knows and trusts me and I know her SO well and know what to do with her to keep her focused. Ive never had that before (and now I know that REALLY special bond you guys have with your horses that you have had from birth - you know them inside and out!) as I dealt 99.9% with horses off the track, and by the time I got them, they were 3 or 4 or 5 years old and went through multiple owners and when they did something stupid or dangerous, you wondered who did what to them in the past to make them react that way. With FF, I KNOW what has happened to her in the past - completely and totally - and there are no "grey" areas to her at all with me ...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#So - its neat. Its really neat and gratifying to watch one of your kids grow up and go out into the big world out there and do well for themselves. #ed_op#IMG src="/richedit/smileys/classic.gif"#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks a bunch everyone, once again. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
