Fiesty Day (aka "Friday") has rules about how to leave his stall (so we can clean it). First, alfalfa must be placed at the stall door to his barn pen. He may or may not choose to eat it right away. Sometimes Friday likes to just stand in front of the alfalfa and stare out over the pasture for awhile. Next, a mix of alfalfa AND hay must be spread out from the stall door to the barn pen. Finally, the trail of food must culminate in large pile of alfalfa in the middle of the barn pen. Ideally, the recipe goes in a specific order (alfalfa, followed by hay and ending in alfalfa again). If done properly, Friday will happily exit his stall and peacefully munch on the carefully designed buffet. If not done to his liking, he will return to his stall -- and stand exactly in the spot we are trying to clean! Friday is such a sweet horse -- we love his quirky, slightly nerdy personality! 🐴💕🤓🐎❤️
