Ye God it's been a while... but yes.. update.
I work on a farm now.
Yep. And apparently, I have been designated to "horse whisperer" and even made the jaws of a boarder drop.
There are 5 mares that haven't had any human handling in 9 years, they're free fed round bales of hay, and... yeah that's pretty much it. So I go out there, because I've been tasked to groom them, and while they were skittish at first, I let them smell me, and just hang around me. Two of the mares decide I'm hot shit and follow me everywhere, and just stand still while I groom them, brushing them from head to tail, even letting me groom spots where gunk gets stuck with no problems. Two have allowed me to walk up to them while they're laying down and pet them, one even rolled onto her side for me to scratch her belly.
Apparently I had an audience, because I look over and I see one of the boarders, whose jaw is dropped, she apparently tried grooming them and they won't go anywhere near her, but for some reason the mares are OK with me. Even the farm owner commented they've taken a shine to me. Both of them now have designated me as a "horse whisperer"....
WTF....
