They have absolutely relished in being showered with love and rubs and us getting to know all their favourite places for scratches. We truly do love them.I have a story to tell you...

Texas, you were right about. He is the smoochiest animal ever! He is sweet. Like super sweet. Happy to share his dinner and in fact his only vice is- he gets jealous if we give attention to jasper. They both run up to us when we get there (yes I pay for full Care 5 star agistment lol but we still go out twice a day- 1- to just bond with them and 2- we leave and come back to give them a break from us- even though all we do is sit with them and give them rubs on their terms and collect grass with them like the settling in journal says to  )

However it was the second afternoon- and jasper is a little bit more of boss then Texas so we laugh about how he suits jazzy to a T. Anyway, no halter, no lead or anything on him. Just hanging with us in the paddock. The little bloody smoocher (and I say that as a term of endearment), comes up to me and I was giving him a scratch behind his ears like he loves and I was just sitting on the brush box and he starts falling asleep in my lap. Like his head is getting lower and lower towards my lap as I’m giving him a scratch but his eyes are closed lol And then because I kept giving him gentle kisses- guess what he did???? Yupppp he started putting his massive big smoocher lips on mine. Jazzy thought it was hilarious. But I was like “this is soooooo weird... I’ve never been kissed back by a horse before lol”

...I don’t doubt for a second their natures. They are super sweet. ...

I love that already they both run up to us as soon as they see the car, I love that they fight over us even when we don’t have food. It’s the only time the don’t like each other. So much so that if they can’t see each other they neigh for the other- and it’s just because of the long grass they are out of sight. But for our attention- they are willing to push each other out of the way and get cranky. But never once towards us have they ever had anything but love and blue eyes. I’m so happy you taught me the blue eye thing. It’s just a validating feeling being able to look into their eyes and know they feel safe and happy with us too. X

I promise... they will be loved all of their days through x

I can’t wait to go out and smooch my boys again today. X...my girls felt sooo proud when I told them what you said about the blue in the eyes already.

They said “that is sooo special, I’m soooo glad they love us like we love them
