Okay. Today I met a horse that lives behind some people I know. I went over to their house and brought my camera for taking some pictures. So I went out into the field(not really thinking about the fact that I'd only met the two horses once before). Then I called and clicked to the horses. They didn't really pay much attention to me, but when I got closer, I clicked and knelt to sit on the ground, still watching them. Then "Autumn"(her unofficial name) looked up at me. She kinda gave me a curious look and considered whether she should go back to grazing or come to me. She went back to grazing for a moment and then her curiosity got the better of her. She started walking slowly toward me, then walked faster. Then she started trotting. She trotted the distance between us in a few seconds. I was still sitting on the ground, now avoiding eye contact because it can make horses feel threatened. She smelled me and started grazing around me. I took some pictures and she kept sniffing me. Then she moved her nose up to my face. I couldn't get anymore pictures at this point, but she started smelling me and stuck her nose against mine. It was the coolest feeling. I was still sitting on the ground just watching and letting her do her thing. Then I went back to picture taking and petted her and took some strange angle shots that you can only get when you're on the ground. It was so awesome! I will post some pictures tomorrow, but I had an amazing day! She was the sweetest horse. "Chester" was just grazing still. I tried approaching him, but backed off when he turned and started away. He was old and timid. But I fell in love with Autumn(not that I don't fall in love with every horse). By the way, most people don't just go and sit down in fields with horses. A lot of people at too afraid to do that. I didn't even think about the fact that I didn't know these horses, either. Probably not a smart move, but I don't regret it. Today was great! Pictures coming tomorrow as I am going to my riding teacher's house to actually ride and some from today, also!
