Oh, she eats EVERYTHING. There is usually plenty of plants for her to eat, but
sometimes she will stick her head into the bush to grab some plant that is behind it.

There is also the issue that every good tasting plant in the yard will eventually be
eated to 2 milimeters length. Once they finish the best tasting ones they move on to
the next ones.

I love their hair sooooooo much. It is so soft and cuddly. When they ask me for pats
they always end up grabbing me with a pseudo-huging gesture so I end up cuddlying my
face against their fur. Hair is sacred.

Horsemanship.

Btw, something I have tried recently is giving them a fly mask, even if there are no
flies. It greatly reduces the ammount of messup caused by bushes. Maybe I should
invest in some anti-fly covering for the neck too.
