Not all horses like or tolerate their manes being pulled, so I was curious to see how G-Love would handle it, since his mane had clearly not been pulled in a long long time, if ever. I tied him up to my now well used post and got to work.
HE FELL ASLEEP!
Before, long and messy. |
After, nice and tidy! |
To say that I was pleased with his reaction to having his mane pulled would be a HUGE understatement. I think I got the whole thing pulled in less than 30-minutes. Seriously, this horse is a gold mine. He is just so chill about everything. I am thanking my lucky stars every day I spend with him and starting to re-think if I really need another more "fancy" youngster to bring along.
Happy trails and swooshing tails!

Wow! I'm impressed. Who needs fancy!? I think your new boy is fancy enough. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great guy. I think the Universe really did have a hand in you two coming together!
ReplyDeleteI like his new nickname, seems very appropriate! <3
ReplyDeleteFancy is as fancy does. :) What a good boy! I just bought one of these 'good boys' the other day, am so enjoying him.
ReplyDeleteAwww G-love is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMr. Gentry looks very tidy and cute :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love him. His face reminds me of a black Thoroughbred/Appaloosa that I used to take lessons on and absolutely loved. That face makes me melt. :) I bet it's the draft in him that makes him so chill. I love draft horses! As you know I absolutely LOVE Friesians, but after roaching Chrome's mane (and my Appy before him was roached too) I'm beginning to think a long mane isn't for me hehe. Our Percheron's mane was gorgeous, but a total nightmare! Actually his tail was worse than his mane. I've never seen a tail that thick and curly. Gentry looks great with a pulled mane. :)
