I introduced the big green ball to the colts last night. They're both so playful, I thought they would probably welcome the diversion. Morris was in the paddock with them at the time and he took off to the other side as soon as I brought the ball in. The colts, on the other hand, trotted over to have a closer look to say, "Hey, whatcha you got there?"At first, it was actually Allegro who was most curious and he put his nose on it right away. Then
he poked at it with his foot and made the ball and his foot bounce which kind of freaked him out. So then he was more cautious. Sherlock took a while longer to get close to the ball, but in no time was pushing it around, leaning on it, trying to bite it, kicking it and chasing it. He was a little more skeptical when I started bouncing it, but didn't leave. Couple very confident boys!
