*nod* exactly -- i think horses sometimes find it funny to do things that frustrate or annoy humans or other horses. i'm pretty sure that when stjarni steps on my feet he's merely being clumsy -- but i'm also quite certain he thinks it's lots of fun to upend my grooming box in search of treats, which really i'd rather he didn't do. (i haven't kept treats in there in ages, but he still hopes, or perhaps just enjoys my grumbling and putting stuff back in order :) > In fact, I pretty much think he'd rather I were not mad at him - ever. i think the same is true of stjarni and me. but i'm pretty sure he LIKES me. he definitely doesn't mind annoying his paddockmates though; he is very BOSSY with them and doesn't mind if they mind. and i've seen many a pony (including miss molly, the mix who was my introduction to iceys) get the same kind of BOSSY with riders (esp. kids) that they didn't like or respect. --vicka
