--but I thought in the first very early seconds I was going to have to reach through the screen and smack her, Leslie Nielsen "Airplane" style** when she was going into "overreaction mode. " But a bit later, she showed she had some spunk and common sense (in terms of recognizing the most basic body language), and seemed to realize both how friendly and curious the horse was and how fortunate she was to get to experience him...Kudos!

**So no need to line up... LOL

I am greeted and head butted by horses at several residences when I go out with petitions. They are friendly creatures. There is one dog who could teach cats a thing or two about giving the feline stink eye.
