How to lure a horse…

32 Replies

Joubert really had a lot of fun with the two horses that roamed Glen Reenen Rest Camp in Golden Gate Highlands National Park this past weekend. Having had his fill of equine photography on Saturday, the next day he decided to lure the horses to our cottage, with nothing more than handpicked pieces of prime grass-stalks. His efforts were quickly rewarded, to the point where they would have followed him INTO the cottage if he didn’t rudely slam the door in their faces…

We think “Horse Whisperer” has opened up as a new career option for our boy!

  Ons het hom deeglik die Leviete voorgelees daaroor Tina. Selfs sulke saggeaarde perde soos hierdie 2 kry dalk net n kramp iewers…

  They’re obviously very used to people, tolerating the little guy’s attentions with such good humour.
