Miniature Horse Play

Posted on March 27, 2010

Take a windy, cool day, one stallion in his prime and a gelding who’s just about 2 years old; what do you get? Some serious rough housing in the name of fun! It’s nice that they are both miniature horses, otherwise the the magnitude of their thrashing around would have been far more intense. It’s great for Muffin to be able to play with someone in his own species, rather than always with a dog. He’s learning horse manners and all about hierarchy. He may be bigger than Fella, but he’s definitely not the boss! Which is a good thing.

The light was gorgeous towards the end of the day yesterday and the boys were feisty.

Gotta love those facial expressions!

Time Out!

Cody just couldn’t figure these two out. He just stood there, quietly, and watched in awe!

“Who’s the Man! I may be little but I got the moves!” Cody’s like I’m outta here!

Not you again!!

Inspired once again by a post from The Shutter Sisters.

If I’m ever in a down mood or when I’m feeling uninspired, all I have to do is usher my two dogs outside to the pasture and hang out with my them and my two horses and 11 hens. It really helps that one of the horses thinks he’s a dog. Well, I suppose he can’t help it, being a pint sized miniature horse! He always initiates play when we are out in the pasture.

He and one of my dogs, Cody, especially love to play together. They chase and play tug-o-war. The images below are from two days ago, plus I included some from last winter that I think really demonstrate lightheartedness. Needless to say, I am very entertained by their antics. In between shots I engage in the play, too!
