We watched a pair of young colts sparring, practising the moves and manoeuvres they'll need in order to gain status in the herd as young adults; learning through role play, as did we. One kicked the other in the face, then as if shocked by it's action ran to it's mothers side, the other slightly stunned looked quite nonplussed; any animosity didn't last though, and it wasn't long until the colts were reunited in play, both mothers and sons moving on in unison. The scene strangely resonated, struck a chord; it's lovely to watch animal behaviour, to see them in us and us in them, seeing in so many ways we are one.
