Makes you wonder sometimes, doesn't it...them letting people like us leave.
So, I got to work this evening and I had fed the first few paddocks when my boss texts me. She says, "Imprint is lying down. I hope she's OK." The expression on my face when I read it --> 
Horses lie down all the time without something being wrong with them. It took all I had to resist being a smartass and texting back "I hope she's OK too." :ninja Instead I went down to the mare barn (which was on the opposite side of the property, go figure), checked on the mare and then let my boss know that she was fine. Then I walked back to where I had been feeding and continued on my merry way.

Actually, sometimes I wonder how the farm owners would respond to smartass comments from me. :ninja Would they take it as a joke or get really pissed off? 
Only one way to find out...
That's assuming that I need to find out. 
Random fun fact: male horses masturbate. This is especially disconcerting if they do it when you're grooming them.

Yeah but.... how?! It's not like they've got hands :ninja
I was picking stalls this morning before I got off work. The stallion was laying down when I got to his stall so I got him up and proceeding to pick out his manure. I noticed he was just standing quietly in a corner instead of bothering me so I look over and there he is, having his "happy time". :ninja Geez. Couldn't even wait for me to leave. 
Went on to do the 2-year old colt's stall next to him and he was going at it too. :willy_nilly: So much for waiting until they're alone. :ninja

Ahhhhh...thanks for the laugh, Zirc. Sorry you were traumatized, though. :24: At least they didn't try to hump you. :24:

I don't look anything like a horse so I'm probably not very appealing to them. 
I don't know...some humans have horse fetishes. It's only natural to assume some horses may have human fetishes.

The ranch I worked on, one of the houses was doing his sexy time while a rider was on his back.

Or wait for a good breeze and flop it into the wind
Looks like I'm just taking up space in the photography competition again.

Me too, pretty much. I wasn't happy w/ the picture I submitted, though...I just didn't have time to go take a new one and I've already used my 2 best landscape photos.
