Here is Chloe with her best "Excuse me, I know you've got hay in the back of that car, how about throwing some of it over here" look. She followed when I drove my daughter down the drive to the bus this morning.
And I can never resist a lying-down shot.

I guess this means they're getting along?
ReplyDeleteAre you really that cool about George climbing aboard? My barn manager absolutely freaked out when Dar mounted a mare. It was the beginning of the end for him. I had never had a gelding, let alone a studdy one, so her hysteria had quite an impact on me. And he does look quite satisfied with himself.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess it's ok. I told his previous owner about it today, and she said that he had to be moved away from the half-grown fillies at her place to protect them from him mounting them. Understandable. And I wouldn't want him climbing on little Chloe. But I've seen Rose when she's not "in the mood," and she's able to keep him away just by a look. His aggressiveness is not to the fore when it comes to trying to get with the girls. He just becomes pathetic and sort of pleading.
ReplyDeleteI think part of the reason he looks pleased is that he really needed contact of any kind with the mares, and this was definitely contact. He's a deep one that George. He struggles with his emotions.
