W came to me last week and asked "please don't move out, I am getting really scared you are ready to leave for good." It appears that what I am doing is working and we are starting to build a better bond.
I love to hear good news! It is especially good because it is not just words but she is making the actions also. Congrats! There is a reason that apartment didn't come available when you were ready...

WCW when do we start working on the young ones?
The day they are born, or the day you bring them home! It's a work in progress that never ends, just like a R with our spouses. I think it also depends on the horse and the bloodlines. I have a gelding that was basically untouched until I got him as a 2 year old, came off a ranch in ID. It took a long time with him just to get used to people but over the years he has turned into my 'gentle giant' and I use him for lessons. I have some other colts that are real easy and some that take twice as long and twice as much work. I have a 3 year old and 4 two year olds to start this year, and it's the first time in years I am not hosting a colt starting clinic. Go figure! just horsemanship classes. But hey, if you want some hands on experience with colts or need some help with yours, let me know.
I hope your tiredness isn't too serious. The stress you've endured over the last year and more can drag you down and if you aren't sleeping that's a double whammy. Have you compared any pictures of yourself from now to 2 years ago? how do you look? I caught a glimpse of me now and pre-thismessIamin, pretty scary.
Good to hear from you, check in more often if you can!
