“I totally meant to do that.”
We all love it when we catch our horses’ less-than-glamorous moments on camera. This video from Ester Jamison is a perfect example of a horse who “totally meant to do that” as he made his way casually to the gate. (Note: you must be logged in to Facebook to view this video)
So normally Tucker runs to the gate and I wanted to get it on video. Well today I got this instead lol!
