Asanti figured out how to open his stall door last night. I woke up because I heard a noise outside my window. Turn the light on and Asanti's head is on my windowsill, tapping with his nose. I think he wanted carrots. My horses seriously never cease to amaze me.

	Even if I had horses I still think that would have startled me a bit. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I had a freaking heart attack and almost threw something. It was not pleasant. Not that he had a clue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what I would have done. At least he didn't run away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He wouldn't, he'd be more likely to open the feed room door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Someone that likes his snacks? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've yet to meet a horse who wouldn't be happy to dive nose first into the sweet feed or grain bins! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How many horses do you have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Currently two. I'll be adding a couple more once I finish building the new barns. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems like a lot of work. What is the second one's name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	For short, Queenie. Her show name is Desert's Black Queen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a beautiful name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh! I saw a video like this not long ago. Some people couldn't understand how their horses were getting out of their stables, so they set up cameras, and one horse learned how to get out. And then he let his friends out so they could all go for a walk. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They're pretty smart animals, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alonelytourist 2014-07-27 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yes! Wasn't there that one German one that could count?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	I believe so yes. They're very intelligent, and we do teach them a lot of tricks. I shouldn't be surprised. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alonelytourist 2014-07-27 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	That's amazing, really. Sometimes I think people take for granted how smart animals can be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you aren't around them all the time, it's easy to forget (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alonelytourist 2014-07-27 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	Then I guess it's good to have little reminders like this! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	It really is! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alonelytourist 2014-07-27 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	All the same, I think that would have scared me. At least at first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	It was a bit of a heart attack at first. I live on the edge of a 100 acre plot, no one's anywhere near me, so I was panicking. Until I saw his face in my window. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alonelytourist 2014-07-27 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	Ack. I'd have screamed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	There may have been a girlie scream involved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alonelytourist 2014-07-27 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	No shame! (I think a few good men might have done the girly scream bit, too, let's be honest.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	No shame. None at all. (probably. a giant horse face in the window is not the nicest thing to wake up to) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alonelytourist 2014-07-27 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	The urge I have to put on a giant horse mask and stand in my friend's window now is astonishing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missharvelle 2014-07-27 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent)
