‘Fly’…’Annoying Small Predator’…Same thing.
…flies are actually LESS irritating than you, Human.
File this under the category of things I *know* my horse is doing on purpose just to be passive aggressively annoying (along with standing on the hose when I’m trying to bathe him and peeing on the new shavings right after I clean his stall). I’m fairly certain he does it to show his distaste for me ruining his afternoon nap, but I guess it could also be a statement on how he dislikes having his tail in a tail bag. Either way he usually gets smacked back with it. 😉
