TOABH: Self Actualized

I'm using Beka's latest question in her blog hop celebrating Archie's imminent birthday to delve even further into anthropomorphic fantasy land. lol

Self-Actualized.

Assuming that your horse has absolutely everything he needs (food, bedding, a warm stall, plenty of blankets, and a pasture mate he neither humps, maims nor gets abused by),  what does your horse need to be the best version of himself?

I initially struggled to think of an answer to this question. Like, all Isabel really wants is food - but that's a given in this hypothetical scenario (and in reality too, if we're being honest). And she's already a confident and independent creature who seems incredibly comfortable in and accepting of the environment around her (changeable tho that environment may be). What else could Isabel possibly need reach her fullest potential?

Then I remembered - oh yea, she's a princess. She needs attendants. Minions to fan her with palm fronds (she's a desert horse, remember?) and admire and worship her and keep her tiara polished, all while hand-feeding her the very best quality treats and feed and hay while she reclines in opulence. 

Yep. Sounds about right :)
