I think he likes me :-) ...he will come stand with me when I am in his paddock and follow me around when I'm picking up poop, he nickers to me as soon as he sees me in the morning and follows me along the fence line. I've had him for almost 3 years and he's always been like this which is why I started investigating chiro work. He is 18 years old. He doesn't act up when I brush him, but does move away. He doesn't react badly or move away from being saddled. I do wonder if he's ticklish so tried brushing harder but he doesn't like that either.
