A friend and I took a hike yesterday. It was the Wildcat Canyon trail from Richmond CA, up toward the Inspiration Point Trail that I frequent. While on the hike, we met some horses. They were not afraid of us, and I got into a petting fest with one.
The other was grazing happily away on the early Spring grass, and I encouraged my friend to take a video on his cell phone. As a horse, the sound of a horse grazing happily away is very satisfying to me.
Can you see this video? Does it make you feel relaxed and full? If I can, I'll lead with a picture of me and the horse I was petting.

I did not know horses had such muscles in their jaws, but I guess they are mostly muscle anyway. Look like they should be predators with how big those jaws are. The eyes fit with their personality though.

@TheHorse Yeah, they kind of have people teeth, except bigger.

@crossbones27 Well, we have canine teeth. I eat meat so as not to insult my DNA. Horses' front teeth are designed for grabbing and tearing (grass) and their back teeth are designed for chewing. They DO have powerful jaws.

That must have been awesome. The wild horses here on Ocracoke Island in NC won't let you get near them.

That horse is certainly relaxed while enjoying its meal.

Yep, when I'm around anxious people (the singer of this song, for example, our fearless band leader), I get a bit anxious. When I'm around happy horses eating, I get happy and relaxed.
