I have two horses, Bob and Jester for many unfortunate reasons, I've had to sell Jester.
He goes on the 20th and the two live out together all year round.
Bob is to go into a new yard when Jester has gone, but I'm not sure however how to minimise the upset this is likely to cause.
I already feel like the wicked witch for splitting them up, as they are best friends and call for each other when the other is not around, as we have them at home and there aren't any other horses.
I do have a field next to the one they are in that I could put one in and another field that can't be seen from their current field where next doors horses can be seen if that could be useful.
So not sure if I need to start a process of splitting them up in advance or to move the other horse on the same day as the sold one goes to his new home or if that would be a bit too much....I really don't know what to do for the best and want to minimise any trauma to them as much as possible, so any advice gratefully received as it's the first time I've had to deal with this issue.
