...is he just biding his time?
Little yearling just can't do anything wrong so far (barring teleporting to the wrong side of a fence). He arrived fresh off the ferry nearly 4 weeks ago, skinny as a rake, barely ever had a headcollar on or been led, not had his vaccinations, never had his feet picked up let alone trimmed, never been groomed as far as I'm aware.
The other day I brought him in from the field to the yard for the first time. Walked in quietly and politely past a stray helium balloon with a curious expression, tied up on the yard for the first time and tucked into a haynet, was groomed all over like a 'normal' horse, let me pick up all 4 feet, pick them out and field paste them on only the second time picking them up (which are so thrushy and overgrown they are grim).
In that same time period, BBP pranced in, spooked at the balloon (which he has seen most days over the last few weeks), tied up, pawed the ground, banged on the doors, knocked a girth off the door, paniced, pulled back and broke the string, snorted dragons, figeted whilst being groomed. Yearling just ignored him and kept eating.
I definitely have chalk and cheese in BBP and the baby camel pony.
