the Merry-go-around

After I arrived at the farm of my sister & brother in law I first walked up to the field with their ponies who were just enjoying their meal of hay. They'd noticed me on instant and then the eldest came towards me for greeting me and her son followed suit (the white ponies). As soon as they turned away from me after this ceremony the youngest and newest pony in the group came towards me to pay his respects (black Diego coming towards me in this picture). What protocol! I enjoyed seeing they keep to their ranking order.
The little black pony served her name Fury very well; she did as she pleased ~ looked up to me, nodded and continued her meal:)
