The Terrific Trio

With winter almost behind us and spring upon us - everyone was itching to ride.  Jo Jo had been frequently lounging Lady in preparation of saddling her up,and my niece was allowing Desi to soak up the sun and simply be a horse that had his head down 75% of the time munching on the fine equine entree - known as good ole grass. Bud was content to be turned out to pasture with both Piedmont and Lady. The terrific trio rarely had an altercation and seemed to enjoy each others company and taking turns being the sentry, while the remaining two lazily grazed. Horses are very aware of their surroundings and actually take turns keeping an eye out for any threat of danger.  If any is sensed - the sentry will let out a winnie  (or trumpet sound depending how large the fear factor is ) and then they all run a good distance away from the area and all stop and survey the previous territory.  Sometimes they will return to the scene of the crime and other times they just seem to look down and decide this new spot might be tastier and stay put!!
