Hera looks uncertain about whether she should prioritise eating the hay, or being a bit concerned that Salty has disappeared!

well it's Friday and I'm a creature of habit so here's an update on the fluff monster 
our short daily separations are going better each time, she is still a bit shouty but is now at the point where she can do some eating rather than being too anxious.
I just shove Salty round the corner to eat some hay in peace and I have to forceably shove her back into the stable when the time is up, so I think she's about ready to cut the apron strings
slightly cross, slightly unsure but getting used to the idea

Friday again! Been a big week for Hera as she got a big brother a 2yo gelding with form as a good nanny! introductions went quite smoothly, they had a few days as a 2 + 1 separated by a fence and then all went together yesterday. A bit of face pulling initially but Salty has now realised that the newbie is the key to her freedom and she's very quickly got used to the idea
plan is to disappear Salty off to the oldies field at the other side of the village on the weekend. she seems more than ready and Hera is happy with her new friend so hopefully it won't be too awful.
sharing some hay earlier in the week

That video is properly cute, I love the Lady and the Tramp-style hay sharing. And the one from last week with Hera walking round with hay hanging from her mouth...
(My cob tried that with his Spanish friend this morning and got bit for his efforts!)
I bet Salty can't wait. Hope the move goes well.

From what you've said, Salty definitely agrees it's time!

Friday! Big change this week at the nursery, Mum has gone, big brother has taken her place and first vaccinations have been done I was going to leave that a bit longer but as weaning went SOOO smoothly i figured we would just crack on.

it is a great privilege, and huge pressure, to be able to control (almost) everything in a horse's life for the first time!

Aww MP, glad to hear all went smoothly, we did our weaning about a month ago and like you, thankfully was all smooth sailing (what a relief !) my Ollie has two yearling friends now and it is a nice settled herd
he also had his first jabs last week :-D

whoops, yesterday was a long day. These 2 continue to get on well. Hera seems to be the level headed one
the synchronised zoomies amused me, every screenshot I take they are pretty much in step with each other.

Missed a few weeks. I guess as we're over the new year we're bowing out now ? over to 2021's crop... it's been fun to chart her progress each week. 7 months old now and getting used to the great British winter weather. Maybe she'll have a little brother or sister in a couple of years ?
