N'awww...its a loose little fuzzy! This made me laugh because it reminded me of the time that our goat helped two of our miniature horses break the fence and go for a midnight stroll...on a main road! Needless to say they thought it was halarious, and it took a very helpful man with a giant truck and ten volunteers to catch the little buggars.
This isn't funny like the video, but there is a 17 year old mini in training to pull a cart at the barn. She had her nicely started, had been up and down the road a good distance many times without a problem. Now yesterday she starting freaking out and she reared up and flipped the cart over on the road in front of the driveway. I saw it happen and ran to go help her. Luckily the horse and trainer were not hurt. The trainer said all she did was ask her to keep going and then the mare threw a fit because she wanted to go back to the barn.
I was helping her school her after this and all she wanted to do is freak out and kick at the cart so she took her back did some lunging and then we started with the slow process of reintroducing things touching her on her side. Rather than using the cart, we used a wooden handle to touch her and we wouldn't take it away until she stopped freaking out. It took a while, we slowly made some progress. The only thing that had changed with this little mare is that she was put by other horses, before she was by herself. I guess she will be moving her by herself again, but I don't know. Would that all happen just because she is herd/barn sour all of a sudden? I feel bad, she took a huge step back in her training and now she is quite a handful. You have to watch yourself around her, she's sensitive and quick to kick. :?
So, does it mean I am 4 if I say "OOOOO pony" at the beginning of the video, and then chuckle and their attempts to wrangle them?
