I really don't understand where all of the negative things came from about minis & ponies.

Do you see that speck way at the top of the ridge?
That's my girl watching, the whole time, as we put in 200ft of pipe. Long ways down, but she still wants to be "involved." 😅
No grazing, just serious watching.

My minis are also very interested/involved in anything happening on our property. If I see the 4 of them watching intently towards the woods, I know something is walking by, deer, bear, etc. Yesterday, they were all intently looking in the same direction for quite a while, I saw nothing. Then all of a sudden, a bobcat, which I didn't see, jumped off a stone wall, jumped up a pine tree, grabbed a very startled red squirrel and ran off. My little equines went back to grazing, while I stood there with my jaw dropped! When minis are watching, it's smart to pay attention!

The bobcat didn't scare them? I also pay attention where they are looking.

No, the bobcat didn't scare them, which when I think about, is perhaps, odd. This particular bobcat walks through my backyard most days between 11AM and noon. Maybe, she/he is familiar to them? I have also witnessed my minis watch black bears walk through our field without much fanfare. No doubt, they are totally attentive, but don't seem to freak out. Maybe they see enough critters that these encounters don't bother them. I wish I had their courage :).

Added hottape to keep them "eating free", and expanded it again today. Can't leave them out because of construction.

Some people have crazy horses, mine waits, annoyed, for me to finish moving the fence. She's not crossing the tape until I move it. 🤩
