hahaha i wasn't expecting him to ride! could become famous if i taught a macaw to ride a horse ;)
just unsure if a macaw would be aggressive to him :)

haha it was just a simple question, when hes outside on his harness, do i allow him near the horse or stay clear ? the horse wouldnt do anything to hurt him, would be more worried about the macaw attacking him! :p

I too have a horse, not at my home though, and no they have never met~ we had a homing pigeon at the barn for months and was often on my horse! So as you can see the horse didn't care and neither did the bird, but my macaw has a much bigger beak....

Wow !! What a beauty !! Such a pretty horse :)
Awww , makes me miss my girl :(
But I could just see the Macaw grabbing on to a nostril and the horse shaking his head , and the bird ,well , not a good outcome :/
But could you see the bird yelling giddy up !!

I socialize all my pets within another.that means the cat's dogs hamster and birds all get along. All except my fish obviously. I see no problem as long as you keep it off the ground and off its head and face. Also condition it to its sqauking so the horse doesnt get startled.
