Snipes is a three-year-old paint gelding and part of Kriskel Farms in Kingston New Hampshire. His owners say that rather than a horse, Snipes acts more like a little puppy. His owner also remarked that she noticed his lead rope would always remain in the center of the paddock and hanging on the gate.
One day she caught him twirling it around and prancing about his paddock. This is what made her buy him a fluffy toy as he showed that he was a big baby and wanted to play with something. Once she bought him the platypus duck, he was always playing with it like a little puppy.
