[@evamatheson7624]

Rudnik has such a wonderful personality.

I love his attempt to tell B to give him stuff. He bumped B's hand then the baggie, and back and forth like, "Dude! That! Give! That! Give! thatgivethatgivethatgive!" They're adorable. And Rudnik is SO wooly!

Rudniks coat is so beautiful right now!! Try giving him the soft peppermint puffs of you have them up there. They dissolve quickly in thier mouth. My horse can't get enough of those. Why do we ALL put reindeer ears on our guys?? Love it!!! Hope you all have a wonderful christmas❤

[@rudniktheroan]

Ohhh I’ll have to try and find those! I think our tack store may have peppermint horse treats I bet he’d like those!

[@wendybutler1681]

Those big fat peppermints? In the tubs? Can't think of the brand but they're a mouthful and yummy. Those would be PERFECT as horsey treats because of the quicker to dissolve and their generous size. Great idea!

Rudnik has decided to be more 'cautious' since the lemon incident: "I'm not going to eat anything just because you hand it to me."🤣🤣

[@rudniktheroan]

😂 and I don’t blame him (although I eat lemons like they’re apples) but fair 😂

[@DJKSB58]

@@rudniktheroan I also love eating lemons! And sour lollies But because the acid wears the enamel off your teeth, always rinse your mouth after with water. Wish I knew this decades ago: too late for me

My daughter's horse didn't like peppermint. But he LOVED Wintermint. The boy would do anything for Wintermints.😂

Yeah I remember a horse video where they tried different mints on the horses, they really all have their own tastes and even if they like one they may pull weird faces slobbering on them, haha

[@rudniktheroan]

It’s funny how different they can all be with what they like. Rudnik wouldn’t even eat carrots when I first adopted him. Now he can’t get enough 😂 And thank you so much!

I love watching B & Rudnik together. Merry Christmas to you all.

[@Baldevi]

Aww! Rudnik is such a good sport! Tho I doubt the headband bothered him much, he would not bother to shake it off unless it was irritating him, lol I just adore how fluffy he gets for winter cold! He's a fluffy black fuzzball! You should have offered a candy cane to the Mares, when Rudnik saw them enjoying the peppermint, he would absolutely start taking them himself! Or, geet some apple or cherry flavored candy canes, I bet he would inhale those flavors! And then Rudnik displays his intelligence as he works at problem solving how to open a ziploc bag to get to the yummy carrots inside. He's experimenting with different techniques, clearly he's thinking about what he can try to do and gt to the carrots!

[@rudniktheroan]

He really doesn’t care how I dress him up - as long as the other boys don’t see 😂 And I agree his winter coat is so fluffy! It gets even fluffier and darker when we get into January. I like letting him use his brain sometimes - he really has to think about how to get his treats. But I don’t make him think too hard before just giving them to him 😂

[@brianmcallister114]

Holy Cow!! A roan reindeer! Merry Christmas to you all.

[@windwizard100]

I love watching your videos of Rudnik and his behaviors. Reminds me of the relationship I had with my horse Kentucky. Thanks.

"I said 'nope' once. Why do you try me, woman?"

He left you for the man with the carrots. He does like his carrots. Bought my dachshund a swimming pool and got the same reaction. Nope. Merry Christmas and Happy whatever else anyone might celebrate! Take of yourselves and those you love.

Pooooooooor Rudnik! He sure had to work hard for his carrots!😄😄😄I loved how he finally tried to shake the bag to either open it or to spill them out! Smart boy! 🙌🙌

[@rudniktheroan]

I like to make him use his brain - it’s like those treat puzzles for dogs. He’s really gotta think about how he’s going to get his treats 😂

The snow is so deep! I love it ❄️ Rudnik is playing the toddler game of “tossing it to the floor and it gets picked up only for the toddler to toss it again” 😅 His girlfriend watching you all together is thinking,”oohhh, he has a great family relationship. Another plus!” ❤ He really does go into puppy mode. A very Merry Christmas to you, B, Rudnik and your sweet doggos! I’m so glad I came across your channel. ❤🎄☃️

Rudnik the red roan rein-horse, Has a very velvet nose! And if you ever meet him, he spreads love where e'er he goes. All of the other horses used to think they were the best. But then along came Rudnik, and put the whole herd to the test. Then one snowy Christmas Eve, his humans came to say "Rudnik with your velvet nose, soon you'll have a baby bro!" Then how the horses cheered him! How they whinnied out with glee! Rudnik the red roan rein-horse has a human herd of THREE!

Looking up carob powder as chocolate substitute for health reasons🎐keep dreams alive (chocolate intereferes with calcium absorption so not good if eating for healthy snack daily). On wikipedia carob was used to feed donkies as grows in Mediterrean climate. Online says naturally sweet and horses love carob treats, good for digestion. And good idea to skip things with chemically derived food colors.... Red 40. Like idea of molasses and flour sugar cookies for horses too. Luv the snow there. Thx for sharing. Happy holidays 🎀
