So, I took my boys out hacking yesterday (OH is now riding my fat chestnut wonder-horse and I'm on the bonkers grey beast) and some kind farmer has stuck a load of baby cows in a neighbouring field.
Cows run over to say hello, both horses are a bit alarmed. Chestnut calms down quickly, decides to relieve his bladder since we've stopped. Grey horse's eyes are falling out of his head especially when the cows moo. OH makes mooing noise back at cows. Grey horse loses brain at this point. Cue, that static pose that you get on statues when the horse is rearing in an imposing awe-inspiring way. Except the rider is not confidently waving a sword, she is cursing cows/horses/men in general and is bracing herself for a prolonged hospital stay. Poor old chestnut was mid-pee but managed to chuck in a buck for good measure.
End result - Chestnut is now a bit anxious when he pees and is on constant cow-watch. I now moo at the grey every time I feed him which is totally mad, I know, and scares passers by a lot. Never a dull moment.
So, does anyone have a small but noisy cow I can borrow to get the boys used to them...?
