My horse insists that I play music while we hang out. She knows it comes from my phone and if I take my phone out, she'll fiddle with it with her lips until I turn in music.

She loves when I sing and I'm so glad I'm usually there alone because I'd be embarrassed if anyone heard me serenading the horses lmao.

I recently got a lyre and I'm gonna learn how to play it for all the horses

“My horse” ❤️

Also if anyone heard the things I say to my dogs in private, I would be mortified.

I’ve started call one of them Mr. Stinky Wiggles and I sing a modified version of the Oscar Meyer song to him.

I love that! I call my beagle my Regal Beagle and my doodle my Rudle Doodle. (My doodle is a goblin and my beagle is handsome)

I love that. Give the dogs, horses, and all your other pets an extra treat for me!

Horses, and most field, work, or food animals, are so dope. They're just a big version of a small thing one calls a pet. All intelligence, all joy. All way more real than any LLM that might exist. Had one horse that waited for his opportunity to break out and he'd run for a half a mile and always come home. It was his game. I was some very young age child and I'd be out there trying to "corral" him - he was a HORSE - he never put me in danger, he would just feint and run off, and then calm down and come back home, his mission accomplished for fun.

I had a few escape artist horses as a kid that just wanted to be chased back home. It was a game

You are my favourite person on the internet today. I mean, you or your horse. But, you know.

You're gonna be so popular with all the horses!
