In December 2003,
Krista McAllister visited the Green Horse Society website and shared the
following recollection:
"It was truly one
of the most memorable places and events I have ever experienced. I
had the most wonderful experience with Acadian on one of our last evenings
there. We hadn't approached him during our study, but on this night
I was alone on a dune writing in my log and felt a presence behind me.
I had been watching the mares and didn't notice Acadian anywhere. He
had come up behind me and nuzzled my hair, sniffing me all over.
Wasn't sure what to do, so did nothing. After the inspection was
over, he just kept his nose on my shoulder for about ten minutes. It
was a moment I will remember always. Still makes the hair on my neck
stand up when I think about it."
Krista completed
her studies at the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown, Prince
Edward Island, and now lives and works in Northern Alberta.
