Kover loves attention - he demands it. It's as if he thinks he's human. And quite honestly, he's much more intelligent than many, many human beings I've come into contact with in my life...... You would have to spend some time around him to know what I'm saying but trust me when I say he is super intelligent. Too intelligent for his own good. The horse has reasoning skills. Really.

Kover Song shortly after he came to live with us as a 3 year old.
Our (Stanley's) Kover Song NOW - The can chasin', pole bendin' Kover Song.
The old man has greyed out a little in his old age (Kover too *smile*). Kover loves running barrels and poles. He's mellowed out somewhat in his old age (he's 9 now). While he's not as overly rambunctious as he once was as a young stallion, he's still incredibly mischievous and will reach out and steal whatever article of clothing not securely fastened to your person if you get close enough to him..... Trying to clean his stall with him in it is not an option. You can hang that up. Ain't happenin'. He's GOING to help you by either trying to steal your hat or shirt, picking at you (he doesn't bite, he'll just take ahold of your shirt or hat or whatever and just hold it in his teeth while you fuss at him to turn it loose - and he will turn it loose, in HIS own time....:), licking you or whatever else he finds necessary to amuse himself (and you) at the time.
Kover Song is fearless. What all of our other horses fear, Kover tries to play with. Or destroy. Or eat. He plain and simply has NO fear. Period. I've never known another horse like him, or even close. He's more human-like than equine. Which makes him a royal pain in the butt at times. I won't share with you the many nicknames I have for him at times..... He's like trying to deal with a stubborn pre-teen at times. But we do him like we do our kids - correct him when necessary, praise him when he does right, show him love and accept him for who he is. He's a very happy horse.
Roxanne, I wish you could see him now.....
