Breeding season fitness programme.
Yawn.
Eat.
Stretch.
Watch videos of a black stallion going around in circles on mum's phone (she has problems!).
Walk for a bit.
Trot for a bit.
Try to nip mum's hand.
That failed, so grab the lead rope instead.
Wait for carrots.
Eat carrots.
Run back to the mares.
