I have to share this… I’m just a little bit in awe right now.
This picture I took from way on the other side of the field and didn’t really see what I was shooting until I put them on my computer. I thought maybe it was just a fluke shot and Jasper wasn’t actually doing what it looks like he’s doing but it looks like he’s protecting Daphne and tonight I saw up close very in your face proof… and Airy is still shaking his head.
Airy did great turning out with them, he dealt with being ignored by annoying the shit out of the pony trying to sniff her. She ran circles around Jasper keeping away and he some how kept himself between the two and it was clearly intentional. Tonight I heard the pony squealing, got paranoid about coyotes and decided to bring her and Jasper inside. I went to catch them and went for the pony first I started to walk off with her and Airy began to follow… almost instantly Jasper turned and was in his face and Airy promptly stopped, I think out of shock. I at this point am walking backward leading the pony watching this. Jasper walks his circle, Airy starts to follow us, this time at his cranky trot and Jasper at a bucking gallop charged Airy in the face, bit him and then stood like a brick wall. Airy responded by yelling like a dinosaur and running off into the darkness. Jasper sensed victory and trotted up behind Daphne and followed her into the barn and then went and stood by his closed stall.
o.O
An open green pasture, a bitchy pony and Jasper is a new horse. It amazes me he can't see, I couldn't believe how many different ways he's adapted to his blindness.... and I have no idea how he knew where Airy was to charge him.
When I got them into the barn I put Daphne in her stall first and then put Jasper in his. He’s been running into his wall divind them since then and I am kind of worried about that… he’s way to attached. I’d leave them together but I don’t want her to surprise me with a foal and then he trample it cause he’s blind.
