I went out to do chores with the feed pail in hand. I have a deep gate hanging bucket hanging on the tail gate of the chore trailer which I set the feed pail in. This keep the water pails from splashing water into the pellets.
As I bent over slightly to set the feed pail in the bucket Dollie stuck her nose under my arm I was holding the feed pail. I had a lead in the trailer so I just hooked it to her halter and she walked beside me as I drove the mower up to the north gate. If I had put the pail in my lap I most likely would not have needed the lead but to be safe.
Even it was a light loving touch by her nose it was a moment of shock. I am not really hard of hearing but I never heard a sound other than Cloud screaming which he does when a mare gets out or I drive in and don't call his name. I did call out to him to hang on and I would be there soon just before she touched my arm.
Time to rebale a big bale into small ones I can handle.
