When you're moving fallen branches around the track and the horses couldn't care less! 🌳🐴🤣
Spring is coming..... honestly!
At least Corey and Champagne say it is 🤣
Trying my hardest not to disturb nap time 😴 for Apple and Rubin.
Its sunny today 🌞 so I've taken Kingston's rug off.
He straight away made a beeline for Bear, one of our hairy ones here who's always up for a good itch.
I think best bud Rubin was getting a bit jealous and kept getting in the middle to split them up 😅
It's so lovely to see them all getting on so well 🥰 and just being horses!
This is Willow.
Willow likes vehicles 🚙🛻🚜
Willow would climb in them if she fit.
But this is a new one, even for Willow 🤣🤣🤣
It's rained heavily here for the last 24 hours so I think these two are just drying each other off now It's stopped.
Steve and Luna are an inseparable duo (mainly due to Steve not leaving Luna's side for a second 🤣). It's always lovely to see our horses getting on so well 🥰
I'm so proud of how far Kingston's come over the last 6 weeks! 😁
When he came to us he had massive resource guarding issues around hay.
Previously he's had to be kept separate due to his behaviour being so dangerous for other horses and people.
He usually gets the most anxious when the hay is going in even though they have plenty already.
This is his reaction to this mornings hay run! 🥰
When you just hit the right spot 🤣
A little update on our rescued newbie Kingston
This is him being given a haynet.
He already has plenty of hay, there's some in the ring already and some nets further up the field as well so he's not going hungry.
He can get very possessive of his hay and when I'm taking it into his field to where I hang it up he will try to stop me walking away with it, I think he thinks I'm taking it away from him.
He's obviously spent repeated, long periods of time without forage. I know he's had and been treated for ulcers last year, he may well have some more now.
He keeps putting himself infront of me to stop me. He has also tried to bite me and kicked out at me.
He seems to be settling down a little bit with it now and is getting used to the fact he never runs ot of forage but you can still see the stress on his face.
Look at his eye at the times he's putting himself in my way. It has wrinkles above it and its a triangle 🔺️ shape. This is a sign of stress.
Once I've stopped and he's repositioned himself to eat some of the net it goes back to normal. This appens twice in this video.
By not pushing him too far out of his comfort zone and stopping whenever I see the signs he's able to calm down quickly and learn from the experience rather than putting us both in danger.
