Look who was blocking the road when Brandon and I were on our way to work on Monday morning. At first it was the two smaller horses, who seemed huge to this mini donkey owner, and then this monster sized horse joined them. Whoa.
The smaller horses ran up the road, but the giant one turned it's backside to us and refused to budge. It's ass was huge! And it's feet were platter sized, and had metal shoes. I was glad it didn't kick my little car off the road!
After seeing that gigantic horse, Hattie looks even smaller! She's a tiny ass. Ha!
For the first time, Brandon and I took the donkeys on our evening walk. We've made it a habit to take Wendigo on a walk around our property each evening as the sun is setting. It's good exercise for her and us, but I also like to let the local predators know there are humans and a giant dog patrolling our boundaries regularly. Wendi follows interesting scents into the brush while we chat and examine our ten acre playground.
Rufus is so good on a lead rope. He follows along like a well trained dog until he finds something so delicious that he pulls his head down for a bite. Hattie still doesn't understand how to take a walk. She wants to follow Rufus so close her nose is touching, or run ahead, or jerk the rope when there's a noise or a strange object. Brandon got a work out holding on to her rope. It was fun, and the donkeys were glad for an adventure and a chance to each some fresh greens. Maybe we will make it a regular thing.
