There is a pecking order with horses
our Ziggy is always the last to have food shared with
and last to drink the water and yet he has been in this
equine herd for 16 years.
I have learned from Ziggy that we are who we
are and he is the most interesting when it comes
to socializing amongst our other horses.
He is all about fun and frolick and is the horse that
actually has blood lines. Ziggy is very fluid, fast and
athletic and natural at being a cow horse. He has no calming
walk on trail rides and wants to just go, Yet....
he is always the outsider when it comes to receiving
oats, hay and going for drinks at the water trough.
Here he is waiting for Grace to finish her drink.
I thought he would take seniority every time
a new horse comes in to the pasture.
Nope! He gets bossed around.
He is the most friendly horse when it comes
to play and pestering the others. Moving up the
herd ladder is not happening. He just probably doesn't care
too much about it.
