A Visit

Friend came to visit on Sunday. I had gotten used to Chief being easy with us and was surprised at first that he resisted her approaches. He was responding to her like he did to us when he first came. So his trust of us does not extend to new people. Did I really think it would?

He expressed his Opinions and Left, but eventually she coaxed him in with softness and promises of a friendly way. It was neat to watch his attention change from wariness to curiosity to understanding and trust.

It was very satisfying to encourage him to let me in. I really love showing horses that I am trustworthy. Love the look that comes into their eye. :)
