Horses are awesome. I wonder if you have wild horses up there as we do in southern Oregon. I started with horses a couple years ago after moving to the 'backwoods' of Oregon from Michigan. I spent a couple days near a cattle ranch with a round pen and a trailer of hay and caught some wild ones for the ranch and one that we brought home. It turns out she(Ruby) was pregnant from the herd stallion(I called him Smokey Joe) and gave birth this past March 31 to a wonderful little colt(Finnegan). There is so much to learn about herd dynamics, respect of personal space, non-verbal communication/body language. This entry of your blog is the only entry we've read so far. Can totally relate.
