p.1 #1 · He who laughs last

Portland Oregon.
Strolling through the stables at the Meadows Race Track.
This horse was talking to me, but I wasn't sure what he was saying- "Get me some more oats." Or "Get that camera outta my face!" Or "Did you hear the one about the filly from Philly?" Or....?
Scanned from an old B&W print.

Looks like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Horses can be pretty creepy sometimes...

Thanks SJ and Eric,
Good thing horses aren't predators. I agree with Eric. Perhaps not creepy, but definitely worth caution. They ARE big and strong and, although they are also wonderful animals, I've heard their brains are the size of walnuts. This friendly chap was just having a laugh at my expense, however.

Nice timing on this one!
Angry? Hungry? Simply trying to communicate?
Who cares?! Just do what he says!!!

Thanks for the comments Ray, Lazlo and Tim.
Racehorses are habituated to people being around, so this guy was just goofing. His handler probably could have interpreted the horse-laff, but I couldn't. I was just waiting for the right moment to go "click."
