Subject: I think you both had a moment of grace with the deer. Most animals are smarter and more communicative than we give them credit for - if we just give them a moment. Diana, it is so cool that you have a horse! And I love the name - is Seek a girl or boy? My childhood into tweener was filled with an obsession and love for horses. It was an impossible dream but we did have a riding academy close which was wonderful.
In reply to: DianaH 's message, "BBS, we too, often get deer in our yard, though not as many as you. I think they mostly keep to our woods, coming out to graze in the yard or browse the peach tree when it has fruit. When I kept my horse at home, Seeks would often get excited to see the "girls" just on the other side of his fence. He'd prance and flag his tail to show off to them. The does would mostly just watch him, neither threatened nor overly impressed. One morning while coming back to the house after feeding, the group of 6, including 2 spotted fawns, merely watched me instead of running off to the woods. As I slowly walked, murmuring as I would to a nervous horse, one of the littles edged toward me curiously, so I stopped and held out my hand. The fawn, nostrils flaring for scent, came within a foot of me before Mama Doe snorted, and the group bolted for the trees. It was very cool." on Thu, March 31 2022, 7:03:36

[> [> [> Kathy in PA, I agree about a "moment of grace." Living where we have some land with grass and woods is what I always dreamed of growing up in the city. I no longer have Seeks (Secret Permission, a great grandson of Secretariat), as I had to put him down because of his back issues, but he was a very handsome Thoroughbred that I bought off the track at 3. I now own Land Rover, a 9 y/o Friesian Sporthorse who is the love of my life. (Yes, DH and the kids know where they are in the pecking order!) I wish I could post pictures for you.;) My childhood obsession with horses started in 3rd grade. I finally convinced my parents a few years later to let me take riding lessons. My Mom's thought was, "This will either last 6 weeks, or the rest of her life." I'm pretty sure it's the second one, Mom! -- DianaH, Fri, April 01 2022, 8:42:36

[> [> [> [> Diana, that is so amazing about Seeks and just wonderful that you’ve been able to keep a horse in your life. Does Land Rover look like Phillip Wylie’s beloved pony? They sound so beautiful with flowing black hair. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, April 01 2022, 15:18:49
