Well, this is new for me, but thought I'd give it a shot.
Like many horse people, I have a tendency to obsess about my horse (or actually Choctaw is my daughter's horse) and of course, my child (Vic the owner of said horse).
Even though our house is running over with horse stuff, we love to look at the feed store or tack shop. If Choctaw wiffles or sniffles, we give her a thorough examination.
I'm sure none of this is normal behavior, but it is who we are and we aren't likely to change.
