Re: [haflingerfriends] lonely haffie (?)

I second that! Moxie was an only horse for the first five years of her life and became very bonded to her human herd. She's happy now with her new friend, but she still prefers us :-)! Ask Scharly how awful it is being an only child ;-). I think Cinderella is just fine......but if you want another Haflinger........LOL!!!
