I finally got to see Tivar's squealing and bucking thing this weekend :) i was taking every horse out and bathing, grooming, doing a little groundwork, and since Nasi met me at the gate I took him and left Tivar. When I came back and turned Nasi loose in the paddock Tivar squealed and took off bucking. Just mad as fire haha. So I took another horse next, to show him he had to act nice for nice treatment. He tried to block the gate, took off squealing again, and when I brought the other horse back he was lying down with his ears half back like "see, I could colic you know," just in an absolute snit! That cracked me up. I went over and petted him and he immediately hopped up, shook himself off, licked and chewed and followed me as if being led all the way to the gate. I put the lead on him and he turned and flattened his ears at the rest like "back off its my turn!" Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
