Miss Social Girl

From the day I went to Indiana Horse Rescue to take a second look at her, Abby has shown me that  she is a very social girl - she loves being with people. That day, she followed me around the round pen and even leaned against me while I talked to the farm manager! (Go here to read that post.) That behavior was what helped me make the decision to purchase her and bring her home with me.

Today was no different. She heard me arrive and hustled up into the old barn for a visit.

 (Sorry for the poor quality photos. I was shooting into the light and using my cell phone.)

She ate the peppermints I'd brought her, then licked my hands thoroughly. And when she was done, she simply hung out with me. Diablo was standing in the door to the old barn, but Abby ignored her. She knew I had given her all the treats I had brought, but was content to just stand next to me and chat.

I scratched her neck and crest, checked her body for cuts and scratches, and the two of us visited for about twenty minutes.

And when I had to go, she stood and watched me head down the aisle to the main door. As I slid the barn door shut, a soft whicker followed me out.
