TCJp34 Wierd Noticings

UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENON:
...you will have some similar stories about your horse i'm sure?

The observations I will document below are of my 2 horses out of an approximate 12million UK equines.  This does not mean that other horses don't exhibit these traits, it just means that perhaps they haven't been noticed yet!!

So, in a completely unscientific 5 year study of Tom & Henry, here are a few 'weird' noticings.

When the boys are out at grass, they appear to manage their own pasture.  They don't gorge themselves continuously as you perhaps expect, to eat until there's no grass left. Instead they opt for hours of what seems like planned grazing, in certain selected patches, alongside wandering into the yard and eating haylage.  Some days they spend in their paddock entirely, other days they seem to spend all day in the yard eating haylage.  It as if they are giving their grazing time to rest, and grow.  They are managing their grazing.

....who'd have thought?

Then there was the day the boys did this above, when I was waiting for the vet to arrive to give them their boosters.  they were quite calm, Henry went in first and had a lie-down, then Tom tip-toed around the back of Henry and lay down himself.  they napped like this for about 20 minutes. Time enough for me to get my camera.

...peculiar?

Then, there is the inquisitiveness.  I have already told you how the boys are very nosey, how they love to know whats going on...

...but this doesn't explain why, when John has his drill out doing things around the yard, Henry gets his nose right in there to see the job close-up. Often actually getting in the way!  Why does he do this?  Is he expecting a treat?  or does he just want to know whats going on in his environment?  When John was doing these buckets, Henry put his head inside the frames whilst John was drilling.

....bit strange?

Horses, will we ever know what they're thinking?

...probably not, but we'll have a lot of fun trying.

Tom, he has such a nice bum. John says this comment is random....but no review about a gorgeous arse is random to me!!!!
