see ya
Major is like the little kid who can't just walk somewhere, he has to run. And that includes EVERY time he enters his pasture from the bottom arena. On this day I'd been cleaning his pasture, he was eating weeds around the edges of the arena (so much more fun than eating in your own pasture, didn't you know?). The gate had been open for at least 10 minutes. Then he lifted his head, and even from a distance I saw that flicker in his eye.
Up his head came, across the arena he trotted (he always slows though themoat gate with little ditch) and he galloped up the hill! There was no extra feed under his shelter, so he just wandered the alley (between the pastures) and tried to play with everyone. Glad my horse is having a good time.

So nice and green out there. If I ate grass for a living I'd be super excited too!
ReplyDeleteAnd we just got 4 inches of rain over the weekend, so green for a bit longer!
DeleteWell done with the video and photo! I've gotta do it soon cuz Mag has a morning ritual now, when I throw a bag of hay over the fence onto the new property, he realizes he has to go down and then up again to get to it, and he does it full speed, with a half rear of delight on arrival. Yesterday he ended his rear with a forehoof stomping on the hay bag, "MINE!" He cracks me up! Sadly today his gallop-to-breakfast routine ended in his coughing fits, normal this time of year *sigh* He'll never be truly well.
ReplyDeleteI’d love to see Mag’s antics! My “video” is just still photos in a gif, I used the sport mode to take a series of pictures. I can get better still shots that way.
