When Horses Play in the Mud… Things Get Slippery Fast 🐎💦

When horses play in the mud, joy and chaos meet in the most natural way.

After wild weather, the herd at Starr Horse Retreats releases pent-up energy through play, sliding, running, and... falls. Young Solar takes a tumble. Jasper falls and recovers. The mud turns into a playground, and the horses remind us how instinct, balance, and laughter live side by side.

This is what horses do when they feel safe, connected, and free to be themselves. No forcing. No training session. Just herd dynamics, weather energy, and pure equine expression.

Watch closely and you’ll see communication, relationship, and joy moving through the herd.
