I cut some cow parsley for the horses as my older two love it as a nearby verge has some impressive pieces just now.
The youngster had obviously never met this horse eating stuff before and viewed it with much suspicion and snorting and the way it moved in the light wind was very scary.
After seeing the older lads almost mugging me for it then very happily eating the stuff, my youngster grew brave and decided it was worth trying.
All of a sudden I heard a thunder of hooves and looked back to find my two year spinning on the spot with a long bit of cow parsley hanging out of his mouth. I have only seen western riders do this type of movement before. I can only presume he was reacting to seeing the cow parsley in his peripheral vision. The spinning then turned in to the biggest excuse for a buck and a kick until he eventually realised to get away from the horse chasing horrible white fluffy stuff that he had to let it go.
I just wished I had a camera or my phone on me and I am now hoping he never attempts that movement when I eventually ride him!
