Please excuse me if I start to Moo & eat grass Today while up on our top hill field with our mares - I had the "Polly" treatment! Now Polly is our Quarter Horse mare - hopefully in foal! she is in with Fly, Tessa & Maj - three Arab mares. After saying hello to them all I then tried to walk across the field...tried but didn't get far - Polly started herding me as I tried to walk - she kept blocking my forward motion as a QH would work cattle....she herded me back to where I started from every time! It was so funny - every time I strode forth - she would come alongside & block my forward motion & then bodily guide me back - one doesn't argue with her bulk - only about 14.2-3hh - but as solid as a you know what! & she had this BIG grin on her face all the time - she was having fun!!
Sandra - she is a most wonderful lady! My first QH & I hope not my last! Last Autumn I was looking for another Arab broodmare & had a couple lined up to view - then saw an ad in H&H for a QH broodmare - in South Wales - so not far from us - so decided to go & have a look - for interest really not knowing anything about QH's! Well we went & as soon as we saw Polly that was that - love at first sight!!
Hi Judith, It was actually at a small harbour on the north east coast where a dolphin had decided to live and I had been swimming with him 2 or 3 times previous with no problems.
The swim would usually go, group jump in dolphin would turn up if in the mood or in the area. he would swim round us sometimes offer you his dorsel fin for a ride and dive when he had had enough if you were lucky he would resurface and offer your his fin and take you back to the others if not you had to swim.
but one day I went in with a group and as normal he turned up from no where and was swimming with us, he offered me his dorsel fin and took me for a ride diving when he had had enough. but when I started swimming back to the others he would allow me to go so far and then push me back out to see with his nose.
At first I thought nothing of it but every time I started back to the group he would push me back out to sea.
I started shouting to the lads who at first thought it very funny making comments about how he fancied me, then they realised he was determined not to let me back to the group. So they made lots of noise to distract him while I made a quick exit on the harbout wall.
The strange thing was the only differance that day was it was that time of the month and that must of singled me out as I had always been the only girl in the group and he had perviously treated me no differntly to the male members.
