It was 39 degrees today when I got to the barn and with a cold wind blowing. Since it was 85 yesterday it was quite a change. I personally don't care much if it snows or rains down here in Denver but we really did need some wet to put out the fire in the foothills.
Nina gave me a little reminder again about her English skills. I was dumping her feed in her bucket and wondering if she was going to eat it. I added some alfalfa pellets to her beet pulp and messing around with the beet pulp can be a serious offense.
So while I was scraping the last of it into her bucket, and without looking at her or stopping what I was doing, I said 'come here and taste this and tell me what you think.' Next thing a black head slides into the bucket. Since she does not eat until I tell her it is ok.... you just have to wonder.
Anyway, the alfalfa pellets were apparently edible and I left before I froze.

It probably frustrates her that you don't understand "Horse" as well as she understands English--LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rita! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with Rita on that one! It always entertains me when people say horses don't know what you're saying. Sure they won't understand every word of it, but they're smart animals. I think they understand more than we give them credit for.
