We worked this week on outdoor cold weather preparation and a few repairs. One of the jobs was to fix a large bale hay feeder. This was of no interest to the three mares, but Mago stayed the whole time and was fascinated by the portable drill, saw, ratchet and hammer. He kept a close watch on Bob and followed me back and forth to the barn to get extra supplies.
The second shot of him was taken by me from inside the feeder. I was trying to use the ratchet socket wrench to tighten the bolts when I snapped a picture of him investigating the cordless drill. This was just before he stole the paper bag full of nuts and bolts and emptied it out. This was followed by moving other tools around while we were not looking. Fortunately he believes that bringing things might get him a treat, so he generally brings things back. He did find a couple of broken plastic pieces that Bob missed on the ground and he kindly brought them to me. Now there is something useful! The only catch is if he finds something quite edible, he'll tend to munch it instead of returning it.
