I dont want him to follow me around or offer advice or solicitousness.... just leave me alone to work with her..and to be honest, since I lost Shadow, I dont have anyone to accompany me to the barn or to ride with..although she thinks I am nuts to use clicker with the horses too.. Damn I wish I had a chauffeur on call! It sure would make life easier! or better yet a transporter pad to beam us to you so we could work together!
