Seeing a horse for the first time might you the impression of a very mature animal, as horses are usually quite intimidating, in other words, you would not expect a horse to be as playful as a dog or cat and only if these people are really engaged into the horse world will understand that this is totally not true. The majority of them that I have seen in real life are as playful as it can get. They are the definition of ‘don’t let the appearance fool you’.
They are just like excited young kids who are just curious about everything they see for the first time, especially when it comes to food. A long as they see their owner eating something, whether it is something that they have tried or not, they will always ask for it and in case that you want to eat food in front of a horse, make sure to bring satisfying quantities of it, as a horse would not be satisfying with small portions. Take the example of a biker for instance.
He brought apples to the neighbor’s horse but since the last one was not satisfied with the quantity, he got angry and kicked the biker’s bike with his legs. The video below isn’t an example of aggression, it is an example of childish behavior. The owner of this horse inflated a plastic pol and filled it in with water for his kid but little did he think that there was another ‘kid’ interested. As soon as the horse saw the pool he was extremely excited so he went close and started splashing the water with his leg.
Right after splashing, he decided to sit inside the pool and cool himself down during the hot sunny day. I am pretty sure that it wasn’t easy getting him out of the water after that moment. The owners who often go for a ride in the seashore with their horses understand the real struggle when they have to get back home. Do you have the same ‘problem’ with your horse? I am pretty sure you do. If you have videos of your horses showing its huge passion for water spaces, make sure to share it with our community. Enjoy the hilarious video below!
