Cyn is just so goofy!

Maybe she's eyeballing you to make sure you don't come after her. *shrugs*

But I don't know if I'd call those mouth gestures "submissive".

It almost looks like she's sticking her tongue out at you. ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - and I did clean stalls too :~D

Pony's stall was a ~lot~ easier. Only took one wet barrow load out instead of two, and there was actually useable bedding left in there for a change.

Gidget and Homer helping to clean stalls. Gidget is sure there's a mouse that lives in that corner, Homer could care less.

[HairOfTheDog]

Actually, the mouth gestures and tongue out behavior ~is~ a submissive gesture in horses. You'll see it in babies with their momma, and you'll see it in horses that are submissive when introduced to a herd.

Monty Roberts, the horse whisperer dude, will run them in the round pen until they do that. When they do that, they are saying "I give up, don't hurt me".

[RMDupree]

Shows my ignorance, don't it? ;-)

I'd be thinking she might be smacking her lips thinking about the taste of my arm.

[HairOfTheDog]

They have a different expression when they do that ;~D

[RMDupree]

Well, she does have ~one~ ear sorta facing back. *laughing*

She has such a sweet face though. No denying that.

She's saying "Hey Ma! That camera thing sorta freaks me out. Can you set it down and gimme a scratch, maybe?"

[HairOfTheDog]

Pretty close. "stop chasing us around, I wanna go back to eating."

[RMDupree]

LMAO!

My second guess was gonna be "Got carrot?"

[Duchess47]

His price seems a little high, depending on the amount of training and ability he has, may be okay though. It's hard to tell from a picture and very little information on his pedigree but occassionally the tear drop spots fade with age - 'course a white horse with a black let would be kind of cool too :)

[Duchess47]

Great pictures :) I'll be interested to hear how the whipped cream goes :)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Great pictures:).

Why didn't the one with them coming at you show up?

Becky

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

LOL, Gidget looks so funny. Are you sure you didn't send her to the corner for some misbehavior:)?

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

They're OK pictures... it seems like awhile since I've gotten a really ~great~ shot of them running... the light's all grey and dark and uninspiring.

As for the 'comin' at me' pic... It's showing up fine here. Here it is again.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Ok, it showed up. I like the 4th one best.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you sure you didn't send her to the corner for some misbehavior:)?

It looks that way, doesn't it.

Here's one more pic, if you aren't maxed out yet... When they ran back to the back forty. It's not a great horse pic, but we've got fall color back there.

[HairOfTheDog]

I'll be interested to hear how the whipped cream goes :)

Heh.... not a chance :~D

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I think it is a beautiful picture, I love your trees.

Well, I think I'm calling it a night. I'm dead tired.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Understandably dead tired :~D

[RebaJ]

I did'nt take it like that. I'm happy to be using it. And it is in good shape. All is good in the world of camp trailers.

[RebaJ]

In a car, right? I'd like to but biology is kicking my butt. I have to concentrate on studies the next two weeks.
