Horse playing with ball

My 3 year old American Quarter Horse thinks the ball I got for him is the greatest thing in the world. He'll spend hours upon hours playing with it and gets tickled to death when someone throws it for him. Sometimes he'll act like a dog and bring it back to you. Sorry about the sound quality, it was windy.

aww...thats cute

[MyHorsePrince]

@PinkPunkyKat yeah, a lot of horses have these problems

[PinkPunkyKat]

@MyHorsePrince I never had a horse of my own so I don't know. The only problem I had with the horses I took lessons on would run off into the farthest pasture when he saw me coming with the halter. I just started offfering him carrots and he always came willingly.

@PinkPunkyKat spank? hah. no. if you tap a dog on the nose and tell it no, it will eventually learn. if you tap a horse on the nose and tell it no, it will just stare at you. if you smack a horse, they will just become afraid of you. there is not punishment with horses like there is with dogs. a dog will learn if you tell it no and put it in a "time out", a horse won't associate the word no at all and won't understand being isolated as a form of punishment associated with whatever it did wrong.

[PinkPunkyKat]

@MyHorsePrince You can spank dogs?

[MyHorsePrince]

@PinkPunkyKat only much more complex! haha. you can't smack a horse on the butt and tell it no and have it learn.

what a doll! all of my horses love those balls <3 unfortunately, they always throw them over the fence!
