Re: [RC] Horse Eyesight - Vallonelee

My horse, Boogie, gave me the funniest reaction of any horse I have ever owned.  I have my horses out back and am always in and out doing chores, etc. I never realized how observant he was until one day I went out to check quickly before leaving the house (weariing a sundress).  Boogie had only seen me in jeans.  He looked me up and down and then very cautiously approached me.  He sniffed at the hem of the dress but poised for flight.  He tugged at the dress and then sniffed my legs, lifting the hem of my dress.  His _expression_ seemed to say "oh that's where your legs went".  I laughed for hours.

".......and God sought to bestow upon man a supreme mark of his blessing. God created the horse. The horse could run faster than the deer, jump higher than the goat, and endure longer than the wolf. Man, being encompassed by elements that sought to destroy him, would have been a slave, had the horse not made him king."
