So anyway here are the pictures Zeppelin promised you. Chrome was approaching the umbrella while I was holding it as you saw in the What is dat?! post, but I wasn't able to give him a scratch to reassure him so I took the umbrella to his barn and put it on the ground so he could check it out. Here are the pictures.
"Whoa mom, whatcha got there?"
"There's a horse eating monster in my barn!"
I love the big, arched neck he gets when he's unsure of something.
Brave enough to reach out and give it a touch.
Visibly more relaxed.
And finally chewing on it. The ultimate sign of acceptance. :D
More chewing. Mouthy colt. :D
Last picture. I love his silhouette.
Love how they're willing to explore, if no one forces them to - Dawn and I had a similar experience with a flapping plastic sign today - the pictures, if I had had a camera, would have been similar.
ReplyDeleteI love the silhouette photo too. As a matter of fact I have a ton of photos taken from inside the barn isle looking out...
ReplyDeleteTwink!
You can sure see the Arab in that profile! I wonder if you will see it so much once he fills out and his neck thickens and muscles up more? I KNEW we would see some prettiness when Zep told us Chrome was going to meet an umbrella!
ReplyDeleteAs for the blogging, commenting, etc. THAT is where I find myself so many times. It DOES get hard and then I end up with a hubby talking about being a computer widower... :(
Brilliant pictures, he's such a brave boy. You might have to get a new umbrella though if he keeps chewing, lol :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe. Yes, when something is scary it is important to stretch as far as possible to keep your back end away from the monster. I think that biting the umbrella showed it who is the big horse.

P.S. My poor grandpa angus was terrified of unbrellas his whole life, even when they were closed!
