wow Ann, don't know how tall you are but she is a nice size! She has a pretty head doesnt she! What color? Is she sun faded black or dun of some kind? I think when you first get them and they act perfect they are waiting for the other shoe to fall and being on their best behavior as a herd survival thing. I think Tivar kept waiting for me to be scarey :) But he was just a little bratty and head tossy. I had left him alone a month. Then after six months I thought he was totally settled in. But now I know... it took a whole year for him to really think this is his home. I can just tell. he is so laid back now. In the first year any time I loaded him in a trailer at dark he knew it was going to be a long drive, and he would act very nervous and call to the others and dance like he didnt trust where I was taking him! But now he is completely relaxed any time, anywhere. I am just grateful to you and Karen for him Ann! He is my primary riding horse now, and I feel, a true partner! It is so good that we can work together to take these horses that just arent a perfect match where they are for whatever reason and find them a good forever home. I know now that half of Teevs problem was he HAS to be a primary riding horse. He gets grouchy and bratty and mean if he perceives others are getting to go out and about on the trail and he isnt. . he loves to go riding and smell the roses on the trail at a laid back speed. That was what he is best suited for! and me too so i guess it is a good match :) I hope Bibi finds a great forever home! Janice
