Wendy, It's this particular horse. DH had an rope horse, a gelding, but he had to put him down in January. DH turned him out one morning just to let him stretch his legs while he cleaned his stall and Hercules took one turn around the barn, stumbled and went down and broke his leg. I thought DH was going to die when he put him down, he actually cried, he loved that horse. I wasn't a bit afraid of Hercules. He was such a gentle, smart horse.
This one, a mare named Honey, is just crazy. She runs at me, goes up on her hind legs at me, turns and kicks at me. DH says "she just playing". I could slap him silly when he says this. I don't want to play with a 1,000 lbs. or more horse, thank you very much.
Honey is a rope horse also, she's his only one right now. Of course, she loves DH. She doesn't like me and I don't like her!!
