The other day, I had a client bring in her gelding for a check-up, and wouldn’t you know it, this big guy decided he was going to cuddle like a lap dog! I kid you not, he plopped his head on my shoulder while I was checking his teeth. It was adorable but also a reminder that sometimes horses forget their size! Anyone else have a funny story about a horse acting like something they’re not?
I totally get that! I once had a mare who thought she was a giant dog — would come up to the vet’s car and stare at us until we scratched her ears. It’s so funny when they forget they’re not tiny! Just last week I had a gelding try to sit in my lap while I was checking his hooves.
That sounds like a softie! I had a mini horse who thought she was a Chihuahua and would curl up on my lap during treatments — I swear I almost forgot I was at work! Anyone else experience that kind of cuteness?
