He is only turned out with one other gelding :/ my yard before he was in with a herd and it really did put him in his place! Come back with some nasty cuts and bruises to show it tho! Lol but the yard itself was awful it's so hard to find a perfect yard :/ I think Iv established I gonna turn him...
ok thanks guys iv taken all this into account,when i was at college and on my stud course they were all broken in at 3 so iv never really thought any different, i guess its just everyones opinions, we will hopefully be out full time again as i do agree 100% he should be out and playing with his...
