It took me a minute before I saw what had him all in a huff.
Ten vultures on the fence. No wonder he was worked up. As I walked down to snap pictures, they began to fly away.Zip then did a celebratory gallop about the pasture. Birds beware. This horse doesn't want you on his fenceline!

Great pictures you show. Wishing you a great Thursday :) Hanne Bente
Great pics, Lisa, and I don't blame Zip for fussing about the vultures!!!
Poor Zip that would have frightened me too:) B
I don't blame him. That is a lot of vultures!
How funny that he was so observant and it got your attention. Go away you vultures! I really don't like it when they hang around either to be honest.
Ptetty horse! !! Have a great day

Then vultures is definately something to snort about!
It took me a while to see them in that picture. How funny.
Zip says I'm not ready to go yet! Lol. Great post, Lisa! xoxo
How dare those vultures harass beautiful, Zip! Glad you chased them off.
ha, i'm laughing at nancy's comment...i was thinking the same thing lol
hmmmm, i wonder what those vultures were up to. something must have drawn them in!!
poor zip....i'd be huffin' & puffin' too!!
my horses don't mind them much, but my dogs HATE them. raise cain whenever they're perched around.
p.s. Zim says 'HI ZIP!'
That's hilarious, horses are so sweet. Sometimes that get scared like a children from foreign things.
Happy Thursday to you. LOL Zip is a little territorial ay?
Great pictures. I like that horse.
What a great story in photos! And no wonder he was all in a huff!
what a gorgeous "guard horse"!!
I don't blame him. I don't like them either.
Zip is a good watch horse--and beautiful!
Vultures hanging around would get me all worked up too!
10 vultures! I am afraid that would have creeped me out also. Good for Zip for alerting you.
That is so sweet that you shooed them away and he danced around!!! I took a good look before I scrolled any further and did spot a vulture. Why would they even be there? Gives me the creeps.
When I see vultures gathered, I always stop and count to see everyone is on their feet...or at least breathing!
Enjoyable post, Lisa.
pretty horse! :)
Great shots.
He's a clever and beautiful horse.
Thanks for hosting.

Zip knows what he likes and doesn't like. :)
what a beautiful setting and horse!
10 vultures = creepy! I'm sure Zip was very appreciative of his mama running them off!
Jojo says Zip is a pretty horse!
Zip doesn't want those strangers hanging around!
TEN vultures...just keep moving Zip and they won't come for you!! ;-)
10 vultures?! That is quite a lot! No wonder he was in a huff!
I don't blame Zip for snorting. I get a little creeped out when I see more than one or two at a time. :)
Zip is very observant! You can hardly seem the vultures in the first pic. Very pretty horse you have there!
Those big birds do look kinda scary sometimes! And noisy!
love

I'd be snorting and prancing to fend off vultures like Zip! Great captures. I love Rural Thursdays despite my slow ability to link up. Thanks for hosting Lisa!
No wonder he was all stirred up. I don't like those birds my self. I am sure they had a meal around the area.
That's funny! I'm sure my dogs would had been barking their little heads off if those were in our yard.
Poor Zip, it would have given me the creeps too!
