>>>> Even with my limited horse experience I can agree with this--it's our Gat. I've also noticed that Gat's more energetic with Alex now that Alex has grown and is developing into a better rider. With my youngest, Taly, Gat's very quiet.
It looks to me like Gat and Alex are getting to be a great team. That didn't happen overnight, though, did it? You are to be commended I think for being as perceptive and persistent that you've done everything that you've done to facilitate that, but when it's all said and done, ultimately, it took time for them to bond, don't you think? When I saw Alex and Gat in that ring in the videos, I wasn't looking so much at Gat's gaits - the first thing I looked at was that Gat seemed willing to participate, that she didn't hesitate doing what Alex asked, and the best I could tell her ears were up and she seems just fine with her life as Alex's buddy. They both just looked happy. That's something to treasure... There will always be a bond between Emily and Thunder, as long as he lives, and even after it's only in our memories.
