I thought you
might enjoy these pictures of Bonaire and I. It gives perspective
to how big he is! He is such a good boy. I so enjoy him. He is
smart, smart, smart! About a month ago, I was turning him out and
he stepped over the top of the gate (those long legs!). In any
event, the gate got wedged in front of his hind leg. As the gate
only swings one way, this was a recipe for a huge disaster. I was
so scared I thought I was going to be ill. But I just said whoa,
gave him the hand signal (I taught him some so that I could keep him
from walking over the top of me) to back up and he stopped and
backed up until I could swing the gate free. He didn’t even know
he was in trouble. See! Very smart!
You will notice in
the first picture that he has his nose in my pocket! This is a
constant state of being for him. He wants to be in the middle of
everything. He will even leave his feed if someone goes in the
barn. He’s probably just nosey. Ha! The vet was out the other
evening for one of the other horses and we had to lock Bonaire up
because he was positive he could help out. Needless to say, he is
everyone’s darling.
