Joe will whinny occasionally when he sees us arrive at the barn. And both
Joe and Della will whinny if I take the other one away (which seems weird to
me since Joe continues to seem like he mostly would like Della gone -
apparently he only wants her gone on HIS terms). I've never heard them make a
sound
to the other horses even in wild or rough playing, or when other pasture
mates are taken away. Not sure I have heard either of them nicker. It'll be
interesting to see how this changes over the years.
Joe has a strong jealous streak, and becomes quite pissy when Della goes out
to play and he is left in the pasture. It is not unusual for him to give us
the cold shoulder when we return, refusing to come up and eat unless we coax
and plead (bear in mind that this boy always comes up, often at the trot,
when we appear). Della calls when we take Joe and leave her, but never
exhibits that kind of jealous behavior and is always happy to see us when we
come
back.

with Joe (who has more personality than I do)
and Della (who is apparently the person I want to be)
