This purple flower thread makes you wonder how a horse sees purple flowers.? Maybe the color is intense, or it is exceptionally bright or....who knows what....or how a horse sees them.

Oh, thank goodness.? I always thought Alpine was just a twit.? He always spooks at the purple flowers.? Actually, I thought perhaps I was insane because I thought my horse was afraid of purple flowers, but it’s not just me!? You have no idea how much better that makes me feel.

I have spent more than one ride yelling “it’s just a stupid FLOWER”.

Juli and the Herd

Alpine (who is colicky tonight, and the vet is on her way.? Sigh….)

Merlin (who is enjoying a nice night in his stall eating hay instead of being pastured because Alpine is colicky and the vet is on her way, mainly because he is a PEST and will bug me, Alpine, the vet, and anyone and everyone else)
