>>>> I like that--Majan Empire--sounds very suitable for a boss mare! :)
Maja was only 3.5 when she came here and just six now. My old TWH mare must have been 19 at the time, and she'd always been in charge. She took one look at Maja, and apparently decided this was "the one" she could trust to replace her. It was like she just handed over the torch and retired, on the spot. The other, older mares who had been here longer just weren't worthy of Holly's blessing, I guess. There was no power-play, no scuffling. Holly even seemed to like her. I'd never seen such a young mare walk in and peacefully take 100% charge before. That was when Cary fell in love with her...she's just so...competent, confident and in control. But she's also a nice mare, one that you can just see wants to learn. He loves to tell people that she's special enough that even crusty old Holly recognized that special spark in her. Kola seems just like her mom, and there is another young Maja/Melnir in the oven for next spring. I know we're basically guessing as to why this actually transpired...but wouldn't you just love to know what makes some of these herd logistics take place? It fascinates me. Bjola and Maja had lived together in the past before they came here I think, but Bjola is three years older, and is Maja's aunt. They were immediately best friends. I think they remembered each other - for some reason, they liked each other a lot. They are both smart, in-charge mares. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] No virus found in this outgoing message.
