Horse and hound in mad chasing game
Tuesday, October 21, 2008

At first glance, it looks like this dog is about to be maimed for life.

But Asti the horse and Freya the Belgian shepherd are just horsing around after striking up an unlikely farmyard friendship.

Yapping dogs are usually greeted with a hoof in the face but this 12-year-old male enjoys the game.

'They have been playing this game since Freya was a pup,' said farmer Jurgen Schmidt, 52.

'They chase each other around each day and none of them has ever been harmed.'

Mr Schmidt lets all the other horses out of their stables before allowing the pair their game of chase.

And, despite the advantage of long legs, Asti has never managed to nip the seven-year-old farm dog.

'Freya can change her direction so very quickly, Asti runs out of luck each time,' said photographer Lothar Lenz, who captured the horseplay in Bruchkoebel, Germany.

'Horses have to build up a rapport with dogs before they can trust them.

'The other horses look quite confused at what exactly is going on.'
