Learning All About Horses

[poliphilo]

The owner of the ponies came and fed them sliced white bread. Horses like sliced white bread, who knew?

Earlier Ailz had given them carrots. We discovered that all you have to do is call, "Come over here," and they come. I hadn't realised they were quite so tame. The owner has an even simpler method of summoning them.  He shakes his bags of Wonderloaf- and they hear it from a field away.

Three of the ponies are cobs. The third is part cob, part Dartmoor and stands a little higher.

I suppose they're tame because they were once somebody's ponies. Horses are usually happy to be friendly once they've lived with humans unless they were very abused.
They're lovely creatures and they'll get to recognize you in no time and will come to the fence even when you have no food.(though they will expect it)

I know very little about their history. Or what age they are. I do know one of them is pregnant...

First day they were here I went out into the field with them and they just blanked me. I had expected them to be a little shy- and they weren't at all.
