Self-Reflection in an arena mirror
The indoor arena has mirrors set up. Nothing surprising about this. They’ve been there for years.
It was like Princess G had never seen them before. I have never seen a horse react to the mirrors like this. Walking down the long side towards the mirror, this big TB mare just about turned herself inside out: prancing, snorting, high-stepping, and other -ing verbs that all translate into either “OMG I’m going to explode!” or else “OMG, check out that cute mare! Let’s be Best Friends Forever!”
And yet as soon as we turned the corner, she deflated and walked normally. Except that, as we rounded the next corner, she turned to look at the mirror–as if to ask where the other horse was and why it hadn’t followed her.
Six times we repeated this: prance, snort, deflate, look for the other horse.
And then she gave it up.
Weird.
