Rain Games in the Pasture
While I was walking the dog, the horses came over to say hello. Given my resolution to spend more non-riding time with Milton [We Interrupt], I deliberately stopped what I was doing and stood with them for as long as they were interested.
There was yawning …
… we …
… visited …
… Milton decided it was time to play the Face Game…
… this appears to be the equine version of the slap game. They put their noses together, then see who is the first to bite the other …
… Rodney preferred more active pursuits. Kicking …
… rearing. I call this ‘When wild stallions meet.’ …
… and trotting about. Eventually, trotting lead to galloping, which led to running off into the distance.
From time to time, Rodney would trot back over to me. I swear he checking that I was still watching.
‘Didja see me? Didja?’
‘Yes, Rodney, I saw you.’
Thank you for reading,

Horses and cattens and dogs! Oh my!
You are rich in souls. What fun to have all these lives to share.
