"Horses are not the kind of animal most of us are able to have, or to witness for long enough to see their sillier sides. It's unfortunate, too, because horses are awesome. There is nothing not to like about horses: they're beautiful, versatile, and absolutely hilarious. Once you get to know them, they open right up!"
"If you want to work from home, though, apparently horses aren't the best for productivity. They tend to distract you whenever you're trying to work, at least when they're feeling a little hungry. If they want a sugar cube, you can forget about the deadlines... At least, this woman can:"
"She manages most of the time, but there are times when even she gets caught off guard, such as when they start knocking on her door and demanding sugar cubes. She had the stables fully attached to her house with a big glass sliding door in between. It's not clear if she knew the horses would be able to open the door, but regardless, it's awesome, and they can open it. They sometimes push it open with their noses. They do then poke those noses in."
Horses display playful, attention-seeking behavior and can be distracting when kept close to living spaces. One woman has stables attached to her house with a sliding glass door that horses learn to open with their noses. The horses knock on the door and demand sugar cubes, interrupting attempts to work from home. Having the stables so near makes daily care easier and creates frequent interactions. The proximity encourages quick responses to the horses' needs, and the owner often gives in to their demands. The arrangement showcases both the convenience and the low-level chaos of living alongside curious, demanding horses.
