Behavioral Enrichment For Equines

Ah.... the elusive carrot puzzle box!



This is Cate's first time seeing a puzzle box. She took right to them!





Lady Buckley and Pippi investigate a box together. However, Pippi loses interest...




But once Lady Buckley walks away, Pippi decides to check things out.



And how is sister, Baby Buckley, doing? She starts off with a box of her own and then comes over to see what Pippi has been looking at.







Spartacus started off taking the Pepsi Challenge and then moved onto a healthier choice in granola bars.











As a group... it looks like everyone had fun! (Even ARC!)

Behavioral Enrichment For Cows

Lucy is the first to attack!




Winter stays back and watches as mom goes for a box.



Mom goes away, so Winter sniffs and then Pounces!





Autumn Joy discovers the large puzzle box and soon Lucy joins in for some team effort!





Autumn Joy moves onto another box as Lucy destroys the puzzle box. (Notice ARC has front row seats!)











Lucy walks away and now Winter is curious.... but is it safe?



Yes.... I think it's safe now!



Look Auntie Lucy! I can smash a box too!
