I just about bawled, it was so sweet.

Hey Genuine Risk,
I'm happy you liked it. It's really true.
Nice that you and Oberon are friends too.
I don't advise going up to any horse and trying to do what I did today.
Heck, there are some that will bite your fingers off faster than you could react. There are a few at the farm that I'm very careful around.
To me, it takes time for a horse to get to know you. Even then, things can go badly in a blink. So be careful.
But the "hugs" are really nice. It's not something to try on the first "date".
All of 'em are so different.
