Prey, prisoner or partner.

I wasn't planning on playing with my horses but when I went up to find a broom in the barn both horses were laying down in the paddock. I couldn't resist going in and seeing if I could lay down with them. I remembered to not be direct line and predatory so walked purposefully and zig zagged until I was about 12" away and laid down with Buzz. I offered the horsemans handshake but he declined. Which was ok. His ears were constantly twitching. He then laid his head down in the grass but was up again I think because one of the chickens laid an egg and was crowing about it. After a coup,e of minutes he put his head down into the grass and closed his eyes. I made the mistake of touching his nose and he really did not like this by moving quite suddenly away. I did this several times. What a dingbat HE DID NOT GIVE ME PERMISSION. Eventually he got up and moved away and I went about my chores. Cool that he did not get up when I approached.
