I want to hug Ithaca. He looks like a sweetheart.
Don’t turn your back on him; he’s a pony-tail puller! Basically, he’s a big spoiled dog, but I am always careful around him. I’m not a horsey-person in the least.
Beau has him saddle broken; has big plans to hunt on mule-back. That hasn’t materialized yet, though. ;)
