I love watching the horses play. So relaxing. You know they can handle themselves so you aren't going around yelling at them like you are the kids. lol
I love seeing horses play! I have some video footage and photos of my horse and his donkey friend playing. I'm going to make them into a video with music when I get back from our vacation. :o)
Hey CDN Cowgirl, Thanks. I only know a few things about those horses and their owner. Some things I'm not so crazy about....like the fencing...and that those horses have no shelter. The guy that owns them shows them and rides them in competitions and rodeos. They are super friendly horses, too.
Lisa, I thought it was Annie too, but wondered cuz I've never seen a mare play this way.
Then I thought to myself, is this truly a gelding game? Geldings do that "grab lip" game, which is adorable, but...do mares engage in this type of play?

"Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give an animal is to recognize that that they might be better off somewhere else and then finding that somewhere for them." and
"The best animal owners are the ones who recognize the animal's needs over the preservation of their own pride and selfishness."

Good trail partners are not just about keeping pace – it is about riding with people who will inspire and encourage you. Good trail horses are generally made rather than found. The horses that have surmounted some baggage are doubly esteemed because they required their rider to dig a bit deeper. ~Horsebytes

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

Nothing better than to watch horses at play. My post today has a similar picture, but for a different purpose.
Good stuff.
