I look out my window whilst making supper, and I see the strangest sight... None of my lil porkers are eating. This is, honestly, like a non-occuring event. It's just doesn't happen. And they're just staring resolutely at their hay bales, with very intent expressions.





So, I go for a closer look because I see ONE out there, so it has to be okay.
And what do I see?





Reed was the only one brave enough to TRY to get close to it.





The rotten little ******. I have no interest in feeding the local moose population. I'd be much happier if HE were feeding ME!
:lol:

LOL
He was more then curious to go see who this strange visitor was! If Reed was the picture of health, I'd have let him out to chase it off. I had a hard enough time. They came back three more times after this picture was taken.

I had THOUGHT, what with my mares being food wh*ores, that they would be like "Uh huh, ain't gonna happen!" and teeth bare and chase him off and come back with his fur in their teeth.
OH NO. Not these courageous little steeds. :-|

VERY! All moose are evil. LOL
I had one go after my car. Literally made me reserve about a mile down my background before he gave up. Last time I honk at one to get it to move.

The other time I was riding out back with my old QH gelding and he got the funny idea that it'd be fun to try and cut momma and baby. Good thing he was quick and sure footed as he was brave!

I'd have been making an hopping run and dive in with Reed. I wouldn't have even had my crutches to throw at her.

Great photos. I love moose! I would secretly like to have a big shoulder mount with large antlers so that I could dress him up for every holiday and fun events. They are so expensive though :( I have been stalking estates, sales, and auctions for quite a few years looking for one.

We have moose here in montana, and our horses are scared to death of them. Not only seeing them, but if they smell them, they get all kinds of worked up. Why, I have no idea, I have ridden up on bears, deer, elk, cows, I have followed wolf. But the one thing that REALLY makes our horse go bug eyed is the Moose every time. Its almost funny, except when you are on a trail ride with ten kids and you cross paths with a moose and all the horses start look at other places they would rather be. Moose??

Before we boarded our horses, we kept them with us. We had a huge stack of hay that was covered and well secured for the winter and overnight. Well, we ended up putting boards, the truck beside it, the woodpile beside, everything we could think of to keep the elk out. Yea, it didn't keep them out. We came back after all our hard work - hay was EVERYWHERE. It was scattered all down the road, up to the fence, down the hill, in the bed of truck. It took days to clean it up. Well the elk find one little scent of it and it's done. They hay is done. Haha!

Horses are such sissies!!!
Not as scary as the when we had our 4 (old herd) ground picketed in French Creek Horse camp, and a big bull buffalo, moving at about 3 mph down the main road right next to them. LOTS of snorts, my 30 lb dog wanted off her leash to attack...then changed her mind when we let her loose. Couldn't get close enough to unhook them--maybe didn't want to.
TOO funny--thanks for sharing!! Boy, that baby moose looks well fed.

You're welcome!
My Chihauhau's went to bark at it. The Pitbull looked at him and went to sleep in the hay. I know now where their loyalties lie. LOL
