Horses like most other animals aren't creditted enough with a soul. I'm sure one exists as I'm sure they have a sense of humour to share with us. Pilgrim is beautiful and has a character to match.
Yes I think this is true, horses are very sensitive to emotions, moods and much more besides and that is having a soul as is showing affection.  Pilgrim was and always will be a kind, funny and loving boy and I miss him.  Tango now though will I am sure shine just as brightly, little things are starting to emerge as we get to know each other.
I'm sure that many of us have had experiences of the humour that animals display.  I'd love it if you shared them. If you put any funny stories under the comments section I'll transfer and display them on the comments page for all to share.
If you have experiences you'd like to share about horses, like times where you've had to gain their trust in order to train them, please feel free to share.In fact, just about anything that's clean and worth sharing. Anything I don't think suitable though will be edited.

When I was about 10 years old, my cousin and would give Coca Cola to my pony, Buttons. We would put the bottle in her mouth, and she would turn it up and drink it all. My mom found out about it, and told us we were going to cause Buttons to have lots of cavities in her teeth. We were so worried that we took a toothbrush and toothpaste from the house and brushed Buttons teeth every day for a week until mom caught us and put a stop to it. It didn't seem to do any harm; and Buttons actually seemed to like it. When I think back and see us standing there brushing her teeth, I have to laugh!! Buttons was my first encounter with horses, and I guess she is the reason I love them so much!!

What a wonderful idea. Now I'll be able to see everyone else's stories too and get a better understanding of what works.
