If their head is poking out and they have a "you forgot me" look, a flake or two of good timothy will make 'em happy. Grain for sure. A pocket full works wonders when you go out into the pasture and try to catch 'em to bring 'em back to their stalls. Just hold your hand flat, palm up, and you won't get bit.
Carrots are a different deal.
If you give one, seems they get bent out of shape if the one in the next stall didn't get one. Talk about "horse feelings"!
Anyway, seems that you and I love the same things.
I wish I could describe it all with words but it's beyond my ability.
My guess is that ya just have to be there.
btw..I wish you were closer to NY...man alive! You'd love what these fillies look like.
Also, are you close to Hawthorne? If you are, you might have seen one named Best of Buddies that won the H derby. He's by Best of Luck (High Cliff), and my mare is in foal to him. I can't wait til late Feb.

likewise wayne, hope BDR is doing well for ya! yeah its obvious you and i both share alotta the same sentiments when it comes to the animals themselves! most in the barn do like carrots and mints except for a couple who just play with them......lol theyll come around. only my horse when he was there and one that just returned from the farm eat apples, well they dont really eat em they devour em theyre literally gone in 2 bites!
i live 15 min from hawthorne and im there every single day. i was there for the hawthorne derby and it was a helluva race. the winning jock of the race eddie martin is now riding in ny(a mistake in my opinion). youre gonna have to show us some pics next year
