What an amazing sight!!! Buck was really putting on a show today. I have never seen him like this before...it was both breathtaking and nervewracking. He seems to be jealous of our new little stallion Jazz and he put on quite the show for everyone. As you can see from the pics he was showing off and there was lots of snorting, blowing and weird growling noises to accompany all this.....I think Buck was gelded late, and thus he is kind of 'studdish' and thinks that Phoenix, Cricket and Misty are HIS mares...so he put on a show of dominance..
In the above pic he is prancing, not something I have seen him do before, but something stallions (or geldings who think they are stallions) do to show off for their mares. Notice the arched neck.
Here is is just running full blast. Now all 6 of the horses were running around, but I mainly took pictures of Buck because of how he was showing off...it was something I will never forget.
This is Buck slamming on the breaks. He over shot his mares and so had to stop really fast.
Quick turn around and he is off again. Arched neck again.
Here he is rearing. He reared several times. I have never seen him rear before, but I suppose he has never felt he had to show off before. He is showing his dominance here. Awesome sight.
He stood on the hill very alert, notice his pose. He was snorting all this time and making weird growling type noises.
Standing on the hill again. Very alert, very tall. He is a magnificent boy. He is quite upset at Jazz and does bite him. I put another hay station out so hopefully they will keep away from each other more. Jazz is pretty laid back and just tries to go on his own way and eat. He is unaware that he is indeed a stallion. Buck is VERY aware of this fact.
