[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 713390, member: 1963"] Copa, horses might help you, because you HAVE to center yourself in order for horses to be comfortable around you. Because they are pure prey animals, they are extremely sensitive to the "vibe" humans, which are predators, give off. When I was at "Old Friends" I met a stallion named Sarava. He is the horse that spoiled Funny Cide's attempt at the Triple Crown. Sarava is his "own horse" and lives life on his own terms. He isn't cuddly. He's "all man", and will bite, etc. I was able to feed him a few chunks of carrot and avoid being bitten, but I had to really calm and center myself before he even deigned to come over to the fence, and then he stopped a few feet away and fixed me with a piercing stare as if he were reading me. Once he decided that not only was I not a threat, I wasn't afraid of him. He came over, took the treats, gave me another long stare, and, ignoring the other visitors, trotted off. It was a very strange sort of communication and even the guide said, "Wow, that was strange!"\ [/QUOTE]
