Curious Horses Interact With Man
While Hubby is house-keeping in his garden, the two brothers nap and momma mare forages. Seeing Hubby throw out an armful of sticks, Willy momma heads over to scrounge for tidbits, so the boys wake up and come running. Never would a horse miss an opportunity for a bite to eat! Hubby gives them hugs and pats…
Horses Being Groomed Groom Each Other
Our horses always love a good brushing or scratching, especially in the summer when they have bug bites. Using a plastic-toothed brush, I was playing with them while HorseGal took some clips.
Willy holds her head way up in the air so I can scratch her chin better. Then Glen comes along wanting his share, and he scratches mom while I scratch him. I love how their upper lip gets loose and droopy when they are so relaxed!
Mom Willy and Glendale sort of shove each other out of the way to compete for my attention. Another thing they both will do is to back their butt up to me to get a butt scratch. In doing this with loose horses, I have to be real aware of where they are moving around to avoid getting accidentally stepped on, especially if all 3 of them want scratching at the same time!
