Our Shadow does this, but we have discovered that
it is a game with him. As long as we play his game, he is easy to catch. We walk
into the pasture, the herd walks up to us. Shadow comes close enough to get his
nose patted, then turns his butt to us. At first, we thought he was misbehaving
and about to kick, but the rest of the body language wasn't there.
David, being new to horses, grabbed him by the tail
one day. The game was on. Shadow justs walks around the field towing David by
his tail, as happy as can be. Eventually, Shadow stops and David halters him.
Game over. Score one for the horse. He caught himself a human.
I looked up one day from catching my horse to find
Shadow towing David who had Jazzy by the collar dragging her along. A very odd
looking train.....
Maggie Pritchard--maggie's zoo
David Herlensky--so much fun to be
oblivious
Shadow--gone tail fishin'
.Does
anyone have any Ideas why horses do this every so > often and what can
I do to stop it?
