He's always trying to see my phone. Gives off "you got any games on your phone?" energy. He splashes me when I give him water and tries to steal the end of the hose. He also demands pets as soon as I enter the barn.

Having not even ridden horses or been around them, do they genuinely have a happy personality? Or is it something you have to work on, and then they like to be ridden and like spending time with their familiar human companion?

Just curious, since I'll gladly handle snakes, swim in shark areas, or deal with an aggressive dog that'll definitely bite me—I know all about these animals, so it's not scary. But horses have always been scary because I just don't know. The idea of walking behind one or being near one is unsettling. They're huge.

It honestly depends on the horse. Some are easy to break, train, and ride and others are not. This guy is only partially trained, so he gives me a bit of a hard time when I'm in the saddle. He just wants to do whatever lol.

Is this supposed to be in response to another comment? Because you just commented directly on your own post
