He never learned all those nuanaces, never learned those important herd dynamics, how to be a good little doobie in the herd. I felt so bad for that colt. I wish i could see my own mare in her hed more. She so sweet and mellow to me, but Bill keeps telling me what a bitchy mare she is in the pasture, and everytime some other horse turns up with a big ole bite mark on her, everyone says that it must have been Lilly! SO HARD TO BELIEVE based only on the human snuggle factor!!!!!!!!baystatebrumbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00157539477153261305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029118492029130864.post-10944568874810882142011-08-31T00:00:34.779-07:002011-08-31T00:00:34.779-07:00Yea, basically what fernvalley said.
I can tell ...Yea, basically what fernvalley said. <br /><br />I can tell a lot about a horse before I ever start working with them by watching them in a herd situation. It's not a cut and dried science, but knowing who is 'the boss', who's crabby, who's timid and who just tries to get along usually shows up during training.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029118492029130864.post-77158834691261304292011-08-28T14:32:16.619-07:002011-08-28T14:32:16.619-07:00I love watching the herd interact, some are so obv...I love watching the herd interact, some are so obvious of thier position, but others just quietly let the other horses know they are the top horse.<br /><br />I would like to see Buck too, glad you never gave it away.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029118492029130864.post-88036074912152795992011-08-27T21:36:22.414-07:002011-08-27T21:36:22.414-07:00I'm sure they all have their different persona...I'm sure they all have their different personalities.

Also if you can learn from them it can be a very helpful tool in handling your horses and keeping "your place " in the hierarchy(should be the top spot BTW)Sherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029118492029130864.post-52411429247151488282011-08-26T20:45:43.560-07:002011-08-26T20:45:43.560-07:00Great post and I agree.
