I have great fun watching and studying the friendships that pop up among animals of different species. Simon the donkey loved Red, Minnie loves chickens, our spirited pony Chloe loves Fate. When the sheep glower at Fate and unnerve her, she runs to hide and get protection from Chloe.

Chloe is an independent creature, she and Red often tangle, she has stomped him twice. But she is always content to have Fate around, I notice the two of them are often together, I think she is Fate’s safe place out in the pasture. l got this shot of them  this afternoon, just hanging out near the feeder, looking out over the pasture.
