Horse Toy

Yesterday, I bought Valley a horse toy! I took it to the pasture, and showed it to her. She sniffed it, and kept on grazing (as far as I can remember). Every time I'd softly roll it to her to see if she'd play with it, she'd freak out, and gallop around the pasture! Bully pushed it around some with his nose, but then ignored it. When I rolled it to him, he got scared too. I got Valley to bite the handle of it some, she even held it up in her mouth for a few seconds! When I go feed them today, I'll see if she'll play with it some more.

Here's the Horse toy
