For the past couple of weeks I've been mulling over the fact that I don't have an affinity with Cocaïne and neither does she with me! I've had her for 3.5 years (she's now 6.5).
I don't dislike her and certainly don't hate her but neither am I friends with her. She's doesn't like being hugged, she's only ever whinnied at me once and that was because she was thirsty and didn't have any water, I guess she's what you'd call nonchalent (sp?) From a riding point of view she will go a long way in her "career" and it will no doubt be me that reaches a ceiling before she does. She will and has improved my riding no end. On the flip side when she's feisty she's a nightmare to ride and will throw everything she's got at you in order to get you off (that btw doesn't work with me anymore but it doesn't stop her trying when she's in the mood)
Being that she's on share now with the RS its odd to me that she has a huge fan club of riders that all want to get on her. In the sense that she's got great jumping capacity and is more inclined to speed I can understand why everyone wants to have her. But from a cute, lovely, cuddly point of view I just don't get it
So my question is - do you have an affinity with yours and if so how? (as in is it on the ground, ridden or both?) and if you don't have that affinity whats that like for you?
