Rufus, the lovely ex-racehorse gelding that I ride sometimes. Please, ignore my terrible position and the odd angle of my helmet- my hair was not cooperating that day. :P
As you can see...or not see, he rarely has his ears up (his half-brother, whom we also have, is the exact same way.), and we actually have to put his grazing muzzle on whilst tacking him up, otherwise you're going to end up with a nasty bite. (We are working with him on it though, and he's getting better. He's fine under-saddle, so we know it's not back pain -we've also had him checked numerous times-. He's just a total brat about being tacking up.)
