Partner Foolies

Wilma here.

My partner thinks I'm serious, but I showed her today that I also have a sense of humor.

She came to the barn this morning to feed. Like usual, she let Willow in with the rest of us, and then opened the gate to the long pasture. We all ran through to the pasture to get our hay. But we couldn't find any!

So I went back to the barn, where my partner was picking up some poops we had left for her. She had the gate to the aisle open. I scooted right past her and into the aisle. I didn't even look at the bales of hay that are across the aisle. My partner got all flustered but she did shut the gate to keep the other horses where we're "supposed" to be. Ha ha ha, I got to wander around in the barn, and went in and out of Willow's stall a couple of times, just to show I could.

I've been wanting to check out Willow's stall and run for a long time. Kind of interesting. I like being with the herd, though. Willow goes in the stall at night because otherwise Cabo picks on her. This way she can eat her dinner in peace. My partner is good to us that way. The rest of us can keep Cabo in line, but Willow is so gentle she lets him push her around. She was born before the Mare's Liberation Movement.

After I was done investigating Willow's stall, I came back out and stood by the gate back to our area. I could see that my partner had some hay she was putting out, and it was more interesting than trying to get hay from a bale.

Pretty soon my partner opened the gate again and gave me the signal to come back in. I decided fun time was over and returned to the "horse space". Time to get serious - about food!
