As we were saying goodbye to the horses at Barb's barn yesterday, I stuck my arm through the bars of Ellie's stall to stroke her. She was eating a flake of hay with gusto. As I passed my elbow joint through the narrow bars I thought, this is not smart - what if she whipped her head around and broke my arm. Well, she didn't do that, but she did whip her head up from the hay and bite my arm. It was more of a gnash than a bite, as if I was more hay. It really wasn't malicious, as she just went back to eating hay. It hurts, and is more colorful today, and will act as a reminder not to do such a foolish thing again.
