Hmmm... How Interesting!

"What goes up must come down." Gravity, emotions, even play time with our horses. Last night was amazing and I thought (hoped) that today would around the same area. NOPE! Maliki saw me today and took off for the other end of the (4.5 acre) pasture. I tried to follow by mozying towards him and other two horses, but they were having none of it. I swear they were laughing as they ran back up the hill to the opposite fence. I finally got back up and decided to change my plan/ strategy, so I laid down in the snow a few yards away. Oh boy, were they not expecting that. They started trotting around and snorting. Red finally came over and investigated my boots. I had to leave and head to work, but even stopping by after Maliki still wanted nothing to do with me. I took my time to get King and Red by me and decided I'd play with King. That was alot of fun, but King (my aunt's level 3 horse) knows everything. When I could see a good place to quit I let him go. Maliki had been watching the whole time. After playing the Catching Game for a minute or two he finally came over. I rubbed him a bit, gave him a carrot and left. All I could think of was "Hmm... how interesting!" Guess we'll see how tomorrow goes. You know, for all this "trouble" and emotion I'm very glad that horses aren't robots and have a brain of their own cause it makes me use mine.
