Typical Good Buddies

Typical, Good Buddies:
Look for each other.
Stand together.
Enjoy each others company
Playful

Eclipse and Sophie are quite the buddies.  They've been around each other for a while.  They are in stalls next to each other.  They can look out of their stalls at each other.  In fact when moving one of them to the other aisle or out of the barn, the other one will always whinny for their bud.
They are more content when led out together by two leaders.
I sometimes get to lead Sophie in-line behind Eclipse as we walk them out.

They get to spend time out together in one of the pasture on warmer days.
On colder days, they are put in the arena for a time.
- this gives us farm hands a chance to clean stalls and the barn easier.
They do spend some good time together.
Sometimes I check in on them.   They can be seen standing together, either dosing or grooming each other.
They do get playful too.  Though I've only seen a little of that.  I look in and they stop and just sort of stand around.  Wonder if they don't want us humans to get any ideas if they run around or such.
- I get a little amused.  Yes, their amusing

They always get food and water where ever they are put.

Well, one day they were particularly amusing. 

Deba and I led them into the arena for the morning.  They needed some hay in the arena, so I went and got it.
Usually they hang around near the front doors waiting and anticipating it.
Well, this day they must of been feelin' good.  Playful
I went through the break room to walk into the arena.
They were on the other end of the arena.  Must of been playing a bit. 
They were standing next to each other facing forward, ears pricked forward when I entered the arena with the hay.  In a split moment they went into a run.
Yup, racing down the length of the arena.
A "Beat yah there".
I placed-dropped one flake of hay in one spot and the other flake of hay a few feet away-as usual- and stepped aside toward the wall.
They slowed down just so as they got there.
I couldn't help smile and sort of laugh ,"Slow down". 

I've had other horses sort of hurry over for hay- trotting over and such. Yet this was buddies racing each other.

too fun
