I had some undemanding time with Teddy and as soon as he saw me he wanted to be with me, walking straight up to me, which made me feel good. I went and sat on a tree and he came over looking for more pats, though still watchfully, and was busy sniffing my gum boots etc. He wandered off to the side and when I didn't follow he stopped and kept looking back at me. I just talked to him and he just stayed where he was but glanced back every minute or so.
I decided to go to the back of the property to see if I could find any roo's and he followed right behind me but wasn't in my face. And then off in the distance I saw him catch sight of the feed bucket I left on the other side of the front gate - so off he went. I didn't follow, just observed.
I have never seen a horse stretch his neck over a fence as far as Teddy did! He finally got his mouth on the bucket (just), picked it up and dragged it to him. What nimble lips he must have. I went over and took it from him leaving it on the other side of the fence so i could unlatch the gate and he got hold of the bucket again and moved it back! I just said "give it to me smarty" and he put it down. I unlatched the gate and stuck his head in to sneak a mouthful. I know it was naughty of him but it was funny!
It was a feel good horse day for me even if it was in the rain.
Fun! And that's what it should be. Teddy sounds like quite the character.
ReplyDeleteAhh he is very much a character and tends to have more moods than me! Can I ask how much time you spend with Cricket per day (on average)?
