Pancho is smart. He's not sure what's up with the camera and he doesn't trust new things much. He didn't enter his stall until he saw that the cat was calm.

There is nothing more beautiful on earth than seeing animals well cared for and loved. Each one is so content and happy to be there. Not some neglected prisoner of an abusive owner. What a joy!

When I was a kid(I’m 60 now) we had a 50 cow Holstein dairy. Every afternoon we would let the cows out, clean and put fresh bedding in their stalls, and clean and put fresh food in their mangers. Each cow had a name and a specific stall. When we let them back in, they would each go to their own stall. Very cozy on a cold winter night! In the warm months the cows were only brought inside morning and evening for milking. They mostly lived in the pasture.

The horses are like hurry up Poncho. You’re letting the heat out! 😂

Pancho's looking at him like, "you're gonna shut the door as soon as I go in, aren't ya?" 😄 So cute!

This is not the first time I have seen horses do something like this. My grandfather had horses in New England when I was a kid. At one time he had seven horses. He kept them in a four acre paddock and attached to that were stables. On the other side of the stables was a quarter acre paddock he used when he needed to isolate a horse. His horses did the exact same thing. What got them to the door was when the sun set or if it was raining. If it was raining they'd be at the gate waiting to be let in though usually in the daytime he'd leave the gate open so the horses could come and go as they wanted. Some would go run out in the rain for a while then come right back to the stables. When it was really cold they didn't want to go out at all. But when the weather was nice they'd want to go out into the paddock. But at sun down they would line up at the gate waiting to be let in. My grandfather would open the gate and they would march single file to their respective stalls exactly like this video shows. Then my grandfather would shut the stall gates but he didn't have to close Mitzy's gate. Somehow she figured out how to shut it herself. She also figured out how to open it herself. She was the only one. Sometimes she opened her gate in the morning and was waiting at the paddock gate to be let out. sometimes she had her stall gate open but was just standing in her stall waiting for my grandfather. She never taught the other horses how.

Poncho was stalling to go to his stall. lol Just like a little kid stalling to go to his room when it's bedtime.

While not surprised that Pancho played the straggler, i am overjoyed to see these precious beings so comfy and happy.

Often on cold winter (-30) mornings we would find the milk cow bedded down in the barn with her calf beside her and a couple cats on top of her all sharing heat. It’s great to see clean well maintained barns for your animals.

We had a horse that was sold, that had been born on the property and spent his first six years with us. He was then sold to a 'show home' as a Dressage horse. 7 years later, when Baltazar had to retire due to an injury, the woman who bought him asked us if we wanted him back, for free. We agreed of course. He came home in the trailer. The girl opened the back door, grabbed his lead rope and back him out. All this time the other horses, including his mother...were calling to him. The poor girl didn't have a chance, Balty DRAGGED her from the trailer, into the barn and right back to his old stall. This horse was gone for 7 years, yet he knew exactly what stall was his. It's not unusual for horses to know their own stalls or pens, most of ours put themselves in for dinner, then to bed.

I remember this old riding stable I used to go to. She had about twenty horses or so and every dinner time she call them from the field and we all stand back as the horses came running and each went to their respective stalls. It was my favorite thing to watch when I went there. All the horses would be running except the very last horse, who was named moose (because of his size) would slowly come potting up from the rear.

God Bless the woman who returned the horse to you for free.

I put a pot of tea water on to steam my house to help the 3 kitties in my house breathe in the winter. It helps them relax and to sleep better since they stay inside.

I love the way Poncho pauses for a few moments of contemplation before going into his stable . What a sweet Donkey, and horses!

My cousin has boarded and trained horses for decades, and one night while I was visiting, her prize horse was out in a corral socializing with some of the other equines as is their wont. The boarding horse stayed outside, but prize horse overnighted in the barn much like the lot in this video. Cousin came out and casually called "Atrayu, it's time to come in," and like an obedient dog, the horse turned away from his pals and plodded over to his stall. I hadn't expected a horse to do that.
