Some of you may have read that just over a month ago one of my foals that I had sold as a weanling came home as a 3 year old in a terrible condition, well he is now worm and mite free and in much better shape.
When he first arrived my stallion was out for the kill but after seeing him in the barn every night and being out in the field close but not close enough to touch he has really settled down. For a week now I have been letting them touch noses and tonight I let the youngster out of his stable (by mistake) and he went straight over to Eagle in HIS stable with HIS dinner in it, so I thought OMG
but no, he was fine and they even enjoyed it. If Eagle wasn't happy about him going near his stable he would have flipped out.
My Question is:
I was thinking of trying them with about 30 minutes playtime in the field together as soon as we have a warm enough day so that I can take Fancy's rug off, Eagle is out with another son (2 year old this spring) so can I put Fancy out with them both or should I just do one at a time?
If they all play nicely I will extend their playtime slowly.
Thanks for any advice
