Is it so wrong to be emotionally attached to a horse?

Ok, that got your attention! But, in all fairness, why not? I didn't say that he was to me - nor am I 'humanising' him - but I do genuinely like him. I posted a question earlier today concerning lungework and was accused of being 'a little kid' [I am 55 yrs old, worked with horses all my life, believe in taking time with them and have always used the gentle, sympathetic approach]. To the contributors who gave genuine valuable answers thank you but I have used all the usual methods without success already with this particular youngster. However, a couple of excellent idea's I will try - which was what I was looking for because I believe in using the simplest approach to teaching anything new and not everyone slavishly follows the standard formula. This youngster requires careful handling as he has a 'jeckal & hyde' mentality and will bite/kick if even slightly pushed and I have spent the past month gaining his confidence and respect. So, is it wrong that I genuinely like the little sod?
