Tiny Horse Thinks It’s A Dog
Beware of the Dog? Unless the horse’s name is Dog, we might be missing something here.
Turns out, her name is Happy Moon, and she’s a equine with a few canine sensibilities. Shall we count the ways?
# She’s prone to following her human family around the grounds.
# She’s nosy and always wants to know what you’re up to.
# She loves to put her head on people’s shoulders.
# She whinnies when she hears someone coming her way, asking for them to “Come get me.”
# She hops across the yard when she’s being silly.
Hold on — she hops, too?
“She has a little bunny hop,” says owner Jackie Arnette. “I told her that I should’ve called her Bunny.”
Well, for now, the 1-year-old “family member” is going to keep acting mostly like a dog. As for why her name is Happy Moon and not Bunny, it’s because of the quarter-moon marks she has on either hip.
Arnette says, “I guess that’s why she’s so special!”

This really isn’t that odd for a horse when treated as a loving pet. Especially when very young. We have had most behave this way. WE also had a cow who behaved this way which to us us very unique. (He also kicked a soccer ball around the barnyard with my kids).
