SonnySmile -- Sonny's a horse with personality, and then some. (Original Post) George McGovern Jan 2022 OP
Wonderful! Are Sonny and Shadow buddies? MLAA Jan 2022 #1
Ha Ha Funny you should ask MLAA! Not buddies so much as teasers. George McGovern Jan 2022 #2

Sonny is one of our retired boarders. He knows he can get Shadow barking at him just by looking at her through the fence. She'll take a run at the fence, he'll take a couple steps toward her, all the while she's getting herself all worked up barking at him.

We don't like Shadow to bark at the horses, to get them all riled up, but it's like she can't help it. So we raise our voices calling for her to come to us and eventually she does; nonetheless, Sonny and Shadow love to annoy each other.

Thank You!

Sonny brings me a smile, too!

And MLAA beat me to it with wondering if he gets along with Shadow.

in the neighborhood. One of the horses recognized me because I used to visit him every day. He would try to drag me into his stall and would stop when I told him to let go. Once when he was in an outdoor pen he saw me and got a big smile. Then he started running in circles and kicking his feet. He's since been sold.

I'd be happy if he went to a place where he had more space to run around. He's a free spirit.

I've read that's how they got Mr. Ed to appear to talk. Loved that show!

A horse is a horse,
of course, of course,
and I just revealed
how old I am....



Yeah, that's some personality!
