Such beautiful green grass

We have us some beautiful green grass to eat. Tender green grass and lot's of it too! This morning my horse had to get his foot soaked and the human girl wanted him to go where she had put down the bucket of warm epsom salts water but he didn't want to go. She told him it was only going to be for a few minutes and there was grass there he could eat. He still didn't want to go with her. She told me to 'come along'. He thought that was getting him off the hook so he put his head down to eat some more lovely grass. He was wrong. She told us both to 'Come along now' so he had to go. You should have seen how mad he was at being made to stand with his foot in that bucket of water just feet from the lush grass he had happily been munching on until she came out with her bright idea.

Horse's lay their ears back when they are mad. It is a good idea to take notice when we lay our ears back. The human girl looked at him and told him 'You just stand those ears back up. I know you are not happy but there is not reason to lay those ears down. That is not going to change anything.' She started rubbing him on his face right between his eyes right where he likes to be rubbed. He almost went to sleep but then he remembered he was mad and raised his head up so she could hardly reach him since he is so very big and she is not. Sometimes I don't know if that human girl is real smart or the opposite of that. She reached up and took the lead rope off of my horse's halter and hooked it onto her own jeans. Then she told him 'Now you can just stand there on your own and be mad but do not take your foot out of that bucket.'

Well I was standing about 15 feet away from all this because I saw him lay his ears back and I know that means he is mad and I didn't want to be anywhere near there. But after taking the lead rope off of him and telling him what she told him he just stood there. He had already tried to take his foot out of that bucket about ten times and he just quit. He just stood there and his ears were not laid down anymore. The human girl thanked him for being such a good boy and told him that now that he was behaving he could leave the area anytime he wanted to. He stood there about ten more minutes then took his foot out but he didn't walk off he just stood there. She told him it was ok if he wanted to walk away he could. So he did. He is an amazing horse and I am glad he is mine.
