How to greet your human

Option 1: The Angry Rocko 

Use your terrifying monster horse face. This approach is designed to scare humans into providing food but making as little contact as possible. 

I'm a mean human eating monster....

Raaaaaaaaa!

However MY human just calls me a "grumpy bum" and then scratches me on my secret weak spot which makes me do this:

Much more pleasant :-)

I am like a guard horse, scary and vicious! Mummy says nobody would have much luck ponyknapping me..whatever that means. 

(N.B- Option one can ACTUALLY terrify some humans and may lead to being labelled as "grumpy", many humans do not like to meet horses who pull such angry faces)

OPTION 2: The hyperactive slobbery Troy technique:

Immediately acknowledge humans presence and look alert and happy. Greet them enthusiastically before they even manage to get the clicky flashy picture machine out. Try to eat the clicky flashy picture machine:

CHHHHEEEESE!

This is my "baby brother", Troy. Do not be fooled by the gladiator name, he is NOT as hard or as scary as me! In fact, as demonstrated by his greeting, he is far too happy, enthusiastic and generally annoying. He likes to bother me with immature games. I like to pull my terrifying faces at him regularly to keep him in his place. He is not as clever as me either, as he is still learning to let the humans sit on top of him and do the riding thing. He is usually praised for his niceness and sweetness though. MY human's man, Flip says that Troy is more sosheeable than me, and he always feeds his apple middle to him, NOT me :-( 

In conclusion, either greeting seems to end with happy horsey faces, many carrots and piles of hay for bedtime.

Remember, it's supposed to be VERY wild and windy over the workend so make sure you batten down those hay nets and cross your surcingles correctly!
