Introvert horses like to stand still. Lucky Star likes to stand still on a pedestal where everyone can admire his “cuteness”.
Tonight when we got into the arena, I was chatting with some Lucky Star admirers. We had just got done chatting and Lucky Star decided to leave me and investigate the arena on his own. humph! So when he turned his rear towards me, I told his rear that it had to move on out at a quite faster speed.
He sped around the arena a couple of times without too much slowing down, but then he veered and ran right to the pedestal and stopped. I came to him and asked him to stand on the pedestal. After testing it out with both feet, he decided it was safe to stand on. And there he stayed. I hurridly got my camera out as I backed away hoping I wouldn’t be too late. No worry about that. He posed for as long as I wanted. Above is the best picture.
Lucky Star hopes you will enjoy looking at him!
We have one more story of the night.
Barb Martin came into the arena to pet “Mr. Cuteness”. We chatted, she petted him. She turned and walked towards the gate and Lucky Star followed her. Of course she was delighted. She walked about halfway around the arena with Lucky Star right on her heels like a nicely trained dog.
She stopped at the gate. I went to get Lucky. I tried to get him to follow me, but he was having none of me. He wanted Barb.
Barb Martin stole my horse tonight. Thank goodness she left without him and I managed to get him to follow me to the trailer and got him home.
