In fact I call my mare mama since she takes so good care of me when I’m riding her.

I see them as more of a best friend than a child, because i can tell them anything and i only have to worry about the other horses in the pasture finding out about it. In a way, were all like a giant family, but not by blood

I think its cute! 🙂 But yes, sorta ridiculous. I call Flicka my baby (to her face only!) But Sweet Pea is more like my BFF!! And Acorn’s my handsome boy 🙂
