From Tracy who took care of the equines this morning: (Silly boys.....)
So, this morning we (Eric and I) fed the grain then went outside to roll the roundbale. It went down and into place smoothly so we came back up to bring Prize out. Well, wouldn't you know he was totally UNGLUED. I'm talking spinning in his stall, snorting and being a complete DORK. So, we go in to calm him down and get his halter on. Luckily, he takes his reprimands to heart and gets much quieter for us. Leads out like a dream with just a bit of sticky feet... while he is staring intently at the round bale in its new location. A few words of encouragement from Eric and he goes in quietly. Then off to Louie. He picked up on Prize's dorkiness and spins a few times. Then he tries the "bolt from the stall" but the door was only open six inches and he gave up. Quiet as a mouse after that and led out beautifully. Absolutely no fear of the roundbale and he was the first to go down and start snacking on breakfast. He definitely picked up on Prize's nervousness and then realized there was nothing to be upset about. We figure Prize saw us out the window rolling that big scary thing into "his" paddock and was upset about it. Once he was outside he was fine. Mules. Geez.
