Good friends Brandy (bay, age 9) and Sapphire (palomino, age 34) groomed each other. They showed that when horses are well-socialized, rank is less important than friendship. This friendship grew over 6 months, mainly due to Brandy’s gentle persistence.

on August 31, 2018I haven't seen my mare groom the other horse she is stabled with like this, but she does it to me when I scratch her in favorite places. I feel like it is creating a bond.
