That was very cool, thank you, tachyon!

What a wonderful video! And I'm so glad to see Azeri retired now.

She and Beholder are the best mares I’ve seen this century. Very happy to see Azeri looking well. Interesting that a phrase in Japanese translates to “Cheeky Monkey.” Don’t know that I’ve heard that since Mary Poppins.

Thanks for sharing. It's nice to see Azeri still spunky and enjoying retirement.

Loved seeing Azeri giving the stink-eye to weanlings who wanted HER hay. As they said at the end "leading horses" come in all types and can teach different lessons.

What wonderful care Northern Horse Park gives their horses from weanlings to retirees. Love seeing Azeri laying down the hay law, and all those wide-eyed weanlings giving her such great respect!

My brain must still be in 2020, the thread simply titled "Azeri" scared the everliving shit out of me. What a relief and wonderful video!
Soylent green is....tasty!!!

Seems the retired mares get sent to the Horse Park to be visted by visitors?

What a great video, thanks for sharing it! It's so funny how the babies just watch her with what looks like terrified awe. :lol: The old ladies command respect!
