    Just want to share a laugh...

    The other night my horse and I went to a neighbors for a demo.  They said they would use my horse this week.

     Well, my horse is a big ham.  He always have to be the centre of attention.  Truly.

    But, this night....he slept through it.  Once he finally got moving in a slow trot with his nose dragging on the ground....the demo guy said "can i get you a wheelbarrow to hold your head?"

    After low key, semi useless demo my horse stood with his head hung over my shoulder not moving a muscle....i just have to laugh, what a goof....

    3 people who were there knew my horse and we were all laughing, going, "where did this horse come from?"

    Normally my horse has to be the centre of attention.  He is nibbling at any part of me he can, pawing, throwing his head.  He normally does not quit moving.  But, tonight, when I want to learn how to deal with a horse like this, he turns into Mister Snooze. 

    It was too funny, but, really, I haven't learned how to deal with the goof...at least he amuses.

    My horse is also a lot more mellow when I take him places. He just attaches himself to me and seems to tune out the rest of the world. That is a very good sign that you guys have a great bond and that he feels safe and comfortable going places as long as you are there with him ; )

    Haha! :)

    Reminds me of a horse quote I found not long back (can't remember who said it!) "A horse's behavior will change in proportion to the number of people watching you ride him." :) So true!

    "Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane? Did you give it the ability to leap forward like a locust? It's majestic snorting is something to hear! It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength." -God in Job 39:19-21

    -he knows when I'm happy,
    he knows when I'm comfortable,
    he knows when I'm confident...
    and he ALWAYS knows when I
    have carrots! <3
