my horse buddy

As I'm rehearsing and learning lines for 'Equus,' (at Vintage Theatre, opens 2.18) thoughts of horses and their inner lives are at the forefront for some strange reason.

This little guy lives next to the school where I take my dog Wasabi, and he stopped over for a visit today. He didn't even seem to mind too much when sabi barked at him. He mainly seemed bored, so I skritched his nose and his ears and he let me take some pics.

Happy Horse Play

I have not stopped laughing, after watching this ten minutes ago.
Yes, it's a silly animal vid, but holy shit you gotta watch this to the end.
I've seen other vids of horses playing with balls and other items, so I was aware that they are creative, playful animals, seemingly like giant dogs, but this guy's enthusiasm trumps all.
The. Happiest. Horse. Evar.
Topped off with the most confused horse face evar near the end. :)
