And if you look at it enough, it does look as if he is. I really got the impression that he did not care for me too much. (I showered before going to visit, lol).
He loved my mother, though (mutual feeling, of course).

Some horses don't like men for one reason or another. He may have been manhandled as a youngster (a lot of young horses are, unfortunately.) My horse didn't like men... his previous farrier had beaten the **** out of him with a 2 x 4 because he wouldn't hold still. Turns out he had quicked his hoof with a nail and it hurt him.
It took 6 months for MY farrier to be able to put shoes on his rear hooves.
