Steve, So true.
In 2007, the wife and I visited a horse farm where our Icelandic originated near Vernon BC. They took us out to visit the herds and in the mares' enclosure, one came up to me and it felt like she would crawl into my pocket. I think I could have easily just put my hand under her chin and led her anywhere. It turned out she was a half sibling to our horse. I'm not a horse person, but that was the closest I have come to forming an instant bond with an animal.
