Major brave pants moment!

[Auslander]

Alf must have polished his halo last night. He is very very much not a fan of pigs.

Ah, well done Alf! Brave boy indeed

Well done he was very calm, my mare would have been snorting. I'm glad I'm not alone with a horse with a double mane.

 

[Whizza]

My horse would have looked like a snorting giraffe in that situation! Well done Alf <3 x

 

[3OldPonies]

Well done Alf, my two oldies would have shown that they still have a turn of speed when they want to!!!!!

I didn't video the initial reaction (because I was too busy trying to stop him fleeing!) He's pretty good once he's had a bit of a think, as long as I drop the reins on his neck and pretend everything's going to be fine. If I pick up a contact, he thinks things are getting serious!

Ah, that's nothing! But mine has never been conventional..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edI7HSxNok0

PS Hope the link works.

PPS First time he'd ever met a pig far as far as I know!

That is SO sweet!

We had a little Fjord mare here for the summer. She made a beeline for the piglets, nickering at them, every time we hacked past there!

I think he's lullling me into a false sense of security. He was incredibly badly behaved at the beginning of the week (I nearly had to get off, because I was leading one of the rehabbers off him, and it was all going very wrong) but has been angelic for the last two hacks - not even so much as a spook. This bothers me.

He's a he. And he's a horse. Of course he is
