We’ve all been there. You’re desperately clucking, jumping and throwing anything in sight in an effort to coax your horse’s ears forward. “Just put them forward for one second for one stinking picture!” you say in despair. Mostly, they just completely ignore us, but sometimes, like in Denya Massey’s case, you receive an epic eye roll at your feeble attempts.
