Roslyn looks like a carbon copy of her mom already!

I feel like getting to scritch Hazel’s curly forehead would heal something in me :joy:

He is a little bit bitey, but not kicky…so that’s good. I’ve swatted him a couple of times when his teeth have connected.
Yesterday he bit through my shirt, i said: OUCH!!! and Brenna immediately, very quickly, led him away! (“it’s not good to bite the gods Hazel”). lol

Oh, my :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
Someone has a very strong opinion of herself :smile:

Hazel, OTOH, may be Royalty, but the booty/head scritches make him a Foal of the People :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

i think we are lesser gods. gods who, when agreeable, can make excellent partners. But who, can inflict pain and suffering from which there is no escape. when i see the starving horses in kill pens, i see what horrible gods we can be. My aim in life it to be a benevolent god that enables autonomy, independence and a whole lot of freedom. I have created, i make that world for them to live in.

I no longer consider myself a christian, but I often think about Adam’s charge in Genesis to be a good steward of creation. And what that means in terms of our humanity- not to control the natural world nor impose our morals/will on it, but to honor and nurture it. And, at times, decentering our own desires if it means creation will flourish. With domesticated animals in particular, we have great power and great responsibility.

Anyway /ramble

I used to go to the Shipshewana auction with friends.
Things I saw in the Killpen & even sometimes outside it made me furious. And sickened.
Especially the aged Belgians who’d given some farmer so many years of service :cry:

Bless you for your work in giving these feral horses & all your animals a life they deserve.

Caution: Long and boring video!
That darn slow-motion button is just tooo close to the Video. So, i catch a lot of slo-mo and lose a lot of videos. Every once in a while one of the slo-mo ones is interesting. Here’s a slo-rub on Hazel-rah yesterday evening if you have some time to kill lol.
