Blind Cash And The Zipper

We discovered several weeks ago that our blind foal, Cash, had a real thing for zippers.  Whenever I would finish feeding him his mare milk replacer in the bucket, he would lift his head up, wipe his dripping white mouth on me (we’re just "human napkins" for this two-month old foal), then keep moving his lips across my jacket until he found the zipper.  He’d grab the zipper with his lips and run it up and down, fascinated with both the sound and the motion. 

If he couldn’t find the zipper, he’d find my yellow chore gloves and lift them out of my coat pockets.  Resourceful, to say the least.

So we just shot some video of Cash doing his zipper thing.  Here it is:

    That’s so funny! Just be glad it’s your jacket & not your pants! Looks like Cash is a tactile kind of guy.
    Big hugs,

    Oh my gosh, I laughed out loud! A blind horse, playing with the zipper on your jacket! It is SO precious!
    Its been said before, but I really do think you and Alayne should consider putting together a book of all the antics that go on at the Ranch. I know, I know, in your “spare” time! But it would be so fun, and a great way to raise funds! Who wouldn’t want a book about a caterpillar-trouncing Daschund and a zipper-obsessed colt?

    What a crack up! I bet you’re glad Cash doesn’t go for your pants! You may want to switch to button fly! Thanks for all of the videos and pictures you are posting for your on-line fans and supporters! They’re all so heartwarming and special and, so are the two of you!

    And I thought my dad’s horse was nutty what with his obsession with the giant balls children bounce on.
    (he likes to shake it, hitting his firehead and then his chest)
