What were the horses freaking out about yesterday??

I mentioned in yesterday's post that the boys were freaking out at the beginning of the ride... the reason is because they spotted something new on the property. I've been hinting for the past month about this with the pictures of the fence we've been building and one reader actually guessed correctly. Anyway we were tacking up when the horses finally spotted it....

FFA!!

They were so freaked out!

We led them up the driveway to see this surprise.

Here is a video of them walking up the driveway on full alert.

Chrome could smell it and was reaching over the fence with a huge arched neck. This was the best shot I got lol. So do you want to know what was freaking them out?? Well you'll have to go read the post on my other blog HERE hehe.

Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
