I don't know why, but when I've had owners insist their 2 horses be TO buddies they seem to get even more buddy-sour than other pairings. Then it's horrible for everyone when one is taken out, or, in other word, the whole time the owner is at the barn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-50864088027850399142010-05-21T19:24:33.718-04:002010-05-21T19:24:33.718-04:00Those two faces are so cute!

It wasn't "alarm" exactly but i do think he noted it. I've still been giving the lion's share of attn to Riley, but there is some sort of mathematical equation for treats vs. personal attention. Harv doesn't mind if I focus on Riley, so long as I throw him some treats.
