Sunday Visition

I went out to the farm at around 9AM, Terra and the buckskin filly were over in the far corner of their paddock happily eating away at one of the roundbales. I set my stuff down and wondered over towards them, wondering how close I'd be able to get before they moved off. I had a couple sugar cubes in my pocket hoping since she's turned down apples and carrots that maybe this treat would be "the one". I was able to get about an arms length away from her before she showed signs of being uncomfortable, it was at that distance that I decided to stay at and not push her. She refused the sugar cube untill I mixed it in with her hay. She bobbed her head up and down as she played with it before it was gone.

I followed them around for about an hour after that, always staying an arms length away from Terra. She'd turn her head and give me a exhausted "you again" look each time. Sorry to ruin your day princess but sooner or later you're going to have to get used to me. The girls are so attached to each other, where one goes the other has to follow. I decided to take a break, go nibble at some Hop & Go that I had brought with me and leave them alone for a bit. I planted myself on the other side of the fence near the gate and watched them. it wasn't long before Terra headed over with the buckskin filly following closely. I figured she'd stop before she got too close but she didn't, she just kept on coming until she was fairly close to my face. I could have reached out and touched her but didn't want to scare her. She eyed me over, breathing deeply, probably smelling my Hop & Go for awhile and then they both headed to the gate, nibbled at the grass there then headed on back over to the round bales.

I finished my food before I slipped back into the paddock followed them at an arms length, crouching sometimes sitting down as they grazed. We always ended back over by the round bales. Any time I left the paddock, Terra would venture over with the buckskin in tow to check me out, always coming extremely close. She seemed more sure of me when we were separated by the fence. At one point I managed to seat myself near them as they ate at a round bale under a small tree. Neither minded though they both glanced over at me now and then. Terra moved off towards the water buckets and like usual the buckskin went to follow her only she rounded the hay and came up beside me. She hesitated for a bit, took one step forward then back before finally slipping between me and the hay. Interesting I thought until she started backing up and swiveled her rear end to me. I thought for sure she was going to kick me in the head. I didn't want to get up and spook her into a kick though so instead of getting up I leaned back and started to pull myself backwards slowly. She lifted her tail and almost peed in my lap. The little brat! After that she trotted over to meet back up with Terra. This was generally how the day went until I left at a little after 5PM minus the almost being peed on part.
