    Out of curiosity, has Jac watched you work bridle-less with other horses? If so, maybe he *is* trying to tell you something. I’m hardly an expert, but in my experience, if an animal realizes you are trying to understand their communication, they’ll try various methods to communicate what they want.

    Yankee used to try to get his point across all the time, and we now have a pretty good private “language”. I sometimes ‘play dumb’ with Smudge, one of my kittens, to see what she’ll do.

    I am sorry, but I dont know what I am looking at 🙁 Could you explain it to the layman in the crowd? 😉

      Looks like he managed to somehow work his bridle off:)

      Jennifer-I forgot to put the story below the photo! Yep, I was riding him with a rope halter on under the bridle and needed a bathroom break. I tied him up with the rope halter and when I came back I found him like this. He had rubbed the bridle off and was looking all innocent at me.

    LOL brilliant job Jac… sure wish you’d had video of that one Stacey but maybe you can sneaky set one up before you have to go pee next time 🙂
