How did Alyssa do in her game?
What do you think of AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) membership. Is that the one I should get?
You know… I’m starting to think Daisy understands human psychology better than most people. She’s got you running laps emotionally -- they have wrapped around their hoofs --, then standing at the gate like, “Alright, you’ve earned the privilege of haltering me.” That’s elite manipulation. I respect it. It is next level and maybe they can teach me a lesson or two.
The way you describe those trust signals — the lowered head, the licking lips, the shift in focus — that’s basically the horse version of a patient finally relaxing when they realize you’re not there to hurt them. You read horses the same way I learned to read people in the hospital. Different species, same language.

I rellay like the part that you already picked Daisy for me. I have something to look forward to once I am out of here. You didn’t even hesitate — just went straight to the one who plays games, tests your patience, and still handles her rider like a pro. Does this mean you think that I’m capable of surviving her little “catch me if you can” routine. And if she pulls it on me, I’m blaming you for the psychological warfare she’s clearly mastered...LOL.
This is going to be so cool. Not the part you are laughing at me but watching you with your God given gifts.
One day I will also have you in the operating room to see the things that I am good at.
It will not be the blood or the size of the incision that will make you whoozy, it will be my music.

I have 2 interesting questions:
1) The OR taught me things about myself that people couldn't. Can you say the same thing about the horses?
2) The way you talk about your horses… it’s like they’re part of your family. You read them, you trust them, you know their personalities, and you’ve put years into building those bonds. It honestly sounds impossible to part with any of them. So I’m curious — how do you decide which ones you can sell and which ones you keep? if you decide to sell them.
FYI. When I was watching the horses in today's movie, I was paying more attention. I never noticed it before but they are absolutely beautiful. It was striking.
