I agree with the "let ...Great to see you back. I agree with the "let them be horses" attitude. Eleven months ago I bought a 2 year old pony (was sold to me as a 4 year old). There was something not quite right about him, so I went digging into his background. It transpired he was a hand raised foal who was not so much quiet, but stale, jaded and shut down. He was used to other horses, but tended to ignore them as he did most things around him. Since I turned him out to learn to be a horse he has been kicked, bitten, struck or chased many times by the rest of the herd for various indiscretions. He has stood under trees in the rain, hunched against frost, sweating in the extreme heat and exposed to winds and storms. It took six months, but the other day just being a horse paid off for him- for the first time ever I saw him going for a buck and fart across the paddock for no reason other than the breeze was teasing him to play. Better still, I now have a light, responsive horse three year old horse who actually pricks his ears, snorts for fun and at sometimes looks sideways at new things. What a shame he was rising four when he found the inner pony in himself.Aussie Bodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770298644972734635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-12938378862584135222017-05-29T19:20:20.163-06:002017-05-29T19:20:20.163-06:00Hey lady.

They like hanging around, eating, rolling, and getting dirty. Sometimes they like to go and play around with people, but in the end, it's important to let them be a horse.
