Self Selection Video

Hazel-Ann managed to catch this video of Topsy and Tufty in action self-selectioning.  We thought you might like to see some of the reactions the ponies have when they are choosing oils or herbs:


Tufty isn't yawning because she's tired...what she has been offered has resulted in emotional release(s), and yawning is one of the ways that horses do this.  Topsy curling her lip in response to the same offering (also known as the flehmen response) allows her to take in the properties of what she has chosen...well done Hazel Ann for capturing the selections on video!
