Sometimes, if it is dry and I have time, I will put my old coat down on the ground and sit on it to talk to any Minions who want a chat or a hug.
Some want to talk and others – today it was Newt, Albie and Storm – want to just “minion”, ie investigate, be hugged, noseys kissed and eat me or my coat.
I am considered fair game and as long as there are no real teefs (ie, not even a feel), then I love spending time with them.
They are (mostly) good boys and never step on my feet or legs – just politely walking around me.
Obviously gently investigated first.
Actually, I do trust them. When there has been a sudden something, they have jumped away or over rather than onto me.
While Albie just wanted hugging, Newt helpfully stood on my coat. I was going nowhere.
I spent a peaceful 20 minutes being gently nuzzled and lightly groomed. I could’ve stayed there all day.

Such trust on both sides for this to happen. Lucky, lucky you!
Love how Newt held you captive by standing on your coat hem.
I miss smelling that sweet horsey breath ( grass or alfalfa) Also just the attention. BUT you are a better woman than I…. I would have been rooted there forever, not sure I could get up off the ground DUH
The ‘ol bod just doesn’t cooperate sometimes. That and absence of horses is why I don’t ride anymore. SNIFF.
Thanks for sharing your nosey kisses and interactions .
I can’t think of a better way to spend some time! I was minioned by Newt and have a wonderful photo to prove it! I look forward to more minioning when I come to Shetland for Wool Week in October 2022. Sigh, such a long time to wait…meanwhile I’ll go harass a goat or a sheep (who aren’t nearly as snuggly as your guys).
2022 is just around the corner! xx
Lily , in her wheelchair and LOVE to minion with our retired girls. Trust them with our lives. Two new retirees are joining our family in Oct and in April we will have a wee little. So excited. But praying for continued health for our girls
