I will start. I have heard too many horse owners say, horses are stupid. They don't have much of a memory.
Well! let me dispell that theory. The horses involved were, Susannes Mingus, A friends awesome stallion
Mooreacres Chip and my boy Jimmy. Chip is Jimmy's son and they hadn't seen each other for a few
years. Until that day at the fair.
We all lined up to go into the arena. Chip was first in line, Jimmy behind him, then the little stallion my friend owned and Mingus.
Chip got in place, we came in behind him and got in place, then the little stallion. Jimmy takes one look
at Chip turns around places himself in a position of defense and protection between Chip and the stallion.
Would not even turn back around the right direction. I tried, oh how I tried. Then I watched his body language and it was soooo obvious at that moment. He was clearly and definately saying to that little
stallion. "Back off buddy and do not even attempt to mess with my son or I will beat you down." The
funny part is his son is larger than him and much younger. But that didn't seem to matter. It was his boy and Jimmy has always spent time living with his sons. He has one with him now and he is such a great
Dad. Oh how they can play.
Any other stories I would love to read them.
