Funny/Cute Habits:
- When Ashley brushes him on his shoulder and belly he warps his neck around her as though he is giving her a hug. He also nuzzles on her clothes until he is bored.

-Diesel loves water. When he is bathed after riding he pouts until Ashley let's the hose run on his face. When she continues washing the rest of him he stomps his hooves like a little kid until the hose is back on his face.

-After he drinks water he let's his tongue hang out.

-Ashley said, "when I rinse underneath his tail after riding, he will always turn around with his ears perked up looking at me like oh yeah."
