Last night, when I got home around 8 pm, I went out to help feed, and was treated to a weird happy dance by Squeak. First, she looked like this perfectly normal horse making her way to the dining area. And then it was on---I can only imagine she was just really excited about dinner.
This next picture is the last time she had all four on the floor for quite some time.
That is a lot of sister up there, isn't it Squeak is my biggest mare--at 15'1" and about 1150 pounds, which is regular size horse for most people I realize. Here it is supersize sister.
Then all of a sudden it was over.
"Oh" she says to me. "I did not know you were here. Did you see my dance?" She looks a little sheepish, doesn't she?
"Yes I did Squeak, I am glad to see you are in such a festive mood on this nice summer evening." says me. She came over to get some loving from me--she likes to be loved on. She also is just blind enough to not realize I was not holding the feed, but whatever.
She wandered off for a while, then remembered what had set her off in the first place and started thundering back to me. To me, this is one of the best things I can see at the farm--Squeak living like a horse, blindness be damned. She is clearly seeing something, as there is no way she could keep from careening off of things if she was not. I love this horse, and am so happy that she has adjusted to living in a herd safely. She makes me smile
Another alternate title for this could have been "Dancing in the Dark". I crack me up.
