Ann said he loves mares. But the three mares I ride with a lot, one he hated, one he loved to devil and aggravate into a frienzy somehow, and one he appeared to ignore. The one he hated he tried to kick her down when tied too close at the trailer, but food was involved. the one he loved to devil, a frisky silly arab mare, he would inch closer when I wasnt looking on a ride and that would send her off into a head snaking snit fit and he would be at the ready so when she would try and fire off a kick he would veer offtrail into the woods, go in and out some trees and reemerge to start in on her all over again. She has kicked about every horse I have ever ridden with her on, but Teev could read her better than others. He also aggravated her more than others, would have her in just a frenzy. Stonewall would get crushes on her and try to get close and she would whop kick him so HARD. if she even looked at teev he would flatten his ears and she would go off on a head snaking little snit. Teev's finest moments on the trail were wen I would let him pass her. oh he lived for those moments haha. In fact, both times I suspect he did a speed rack or flying pace were when we were cantering hard and I let him know it was ok to pass her... he put the pedal to the metal then haha Janice
