In fact, chances are your horse has already set their own goals for 2017. Here's a couple of the most common New Year's Resolutions your horse has probably already set for themselves:
1. I will stop chewing on my stall, even though I'm certain every post has a center made of salt licks and apples. Unless, of course, I'm not getting all the fiber I want. Then I'm making a resolution to carve every board into a pencil.
5 New Year's Resolutions Your Horse Has Already Set
New Year's is a great time for change. It's another chance, 365 new days ahead of us. Few people actually realize that horses uphold the New Year's resolutions tradition just as much as anyone. In fact, chances are your horse has already set their own goals for 2017. Here's a couple of the most common New Year's Resolutions your horse has probably already set for themselves:
1. I will stop chewing on my stall, even though I'm certain every post has a center made of salt licks and apples. Unless, of course, I'm not getting all the fiber I want. Then I'm making a resolution to carve every board into a pencil.
2. I will stop being afraid of loud noises. I'm sick of jumping every time a lawnmower goes past. Unless of course, the loud noise is coming from something dangerous. Wait, can't lawnmowers be dangerous? Fine, I'll stop being afraid of loud noises as soon as everything dangerous stops making them.
3. I will practice stretching my neck in hopes it will grow longer. After all, everyone knows that the best pasture grass is always right outside the fence, just out of reach. If only I were a giraffe…
4. I will finally show my human there really is a monster hiding in those dark places where things are difficult to see. For years they've insisted there's nothing that lurks in the shadowed corners of my trailer or below the surface of any water where you can't see the bottom. Of course, I know that's entirely untrue. There's clearly a monster that's hiding just outside of my eyesight with the body of a loud motorcycle and the head of a snake (shudder).
5. I will get as many apple/berry cookie cubes® out of my human as possible. This includes pretending to be excited when I see them, being especially well-behaved around the small human offspring and trying not to poop when someone is directly behind me.
