The connection horse lovers have with their animals is really special. That moment when you walk out to the pasture and he devotedly ignores your presence.
You climb into the round bale feeder where he is napping/guarding the hole he has burrowed to put his halter on... because you never know when he might make a run for it.
You walk around him, patting, talking to him, finger combing his mane, contemplating giving it a shampoo later. You continue to walk around him scratching his favorite spots, looking for bug bites and ensuring that his friends are not chewing his tail.
You have gone the distance and are now standing again at his head just sending the love vibes in full force and then it happens.
That awkward moment when another horse comes over and halfheartedly chases him in your direction and he can no longer pretend he didn't see you standing there.
Yes, it's love like no other
After I took his halter off I really shouldn't have bothered taking a photo and posted an old one.
So much for documenting the results of a good bath!
