Cuteness At The Highest Level

about 2 years ago

Most of us love horses as they are not only beautiful but good companions/friends too, but unfortunately not many of us have the pleasure and the opportunity to enjoy their company. Big cities don't offer this pleasure, unless there's a mounted police unit in the city, but even so, those horses are not used to entertain and engage with people. They are used to being in the crowd and also used to extreme noise, but the police officers riding them will never allow you to pet them.

I was born and raised in the city, so just like many millions, haven't had much contact with horses. Nonetheless, I love and admire them every time I have the occasion.

Today I'm going to show you two beauties, that are guests in my dad's garden. Well, kind of 😁. The truth is, half of the land is rented out to a neighbor, who's engaged in animal husbandry. We don't need that land and it's better if it is used, than to sit unused. The neighbor is growing lucerne for the cows as with this drought, pastures can not fulfill the need. This means he's mowing the lucerne with his tractor and then let it grow again. However, this time of the year there's not much to mow anymore, so this is when he's bringing the horses there to have some fun.

This beauty is not new as I met her in the previous years. She's been brought there before and I had the chance to pet her in one of the years. If you haven't petted a horse before, you should know that the nose is the most fun part as it's so smooth. She's very tame and whenever there's someone around, she goes to meet the person. I suppose she's hoping to get something, if not, then just to get a good pet.

This time she did not come alone, there was another beauty with her, a black beauty.

Going there empty handed is not a good strategy. I wasn't there this time, unfortunately, so these photos were taken by my dad and he sent these to me. He brought the horses some leaves, but they were not interested.

Being on a field of lucerne is like being in a candy store, so they were obviously not hungry.

They were moving left and right as they pleased, one of the disadvantages of photographing animals. You can't tell them to stay put, can you? I mean you can but will they ever listen? I don't think so.

There's a trick you can use to lure them where you are. It's a dirty trick but works every time.

A bucket always seems to work magics. They know the bucket usually contains food, so whenever they see a bucket, they come to you. Imagine their surprise when they find out you used a dirty trick and went there with an empty bucket.

Can you see the disappointment on their faces? I can :) Poor horses.

If you thought this is the highest level of cuteness, you were wrong. Look at this cutie pie.

These cuties are of the other neighbor's and are just as curious as the horses.

When I'm there and these cuties are out to graze, I'm capable to watch them for hours. Usually I'm taking tons of photos. There was an occasion when the black beauty was out and was in the mood for posing for the camera. She had no idea how glad I was. Unfortunately she got sold since then. To tell you the truth, I was sick for one week, when I heard they sold her. I will never understand how can one sell an animal or pet and this is why I am not good at keeping an animal of pet. I get too attached.

Sooooo, this is not food but I'm asking regardless. Which one is your favorite?
