I can still see him from a distance, but am not allowed to go anywhere near him or to touch him. I'm allowed on the farm, as the trainer is not the YO, but can not touch the trainers horses, Max belonged to her, although I was the one who cared for him, bought him all his rugs, boots, etc.
It breaks my heart when i go over to the paddock next to him to bring a horse in, and he whinneys and trots over waiting for me to pet him. Of coursde when the trainer is not around I do, but lately she's stood there watching me, and if I even look at Max she goes on a rampage.
But I know have a new trainer at a different barn whom I adore, and has done more with me in 1 month, then my old trainer did in almost 2 years.
