So we are two days past the horrible events of Saturday and my boy seems to be coping ok. He’s eating and drinking, lying down at night in his stable as normal and is mostly sensible to handle. However, when turned out with his new companion he is spending a lot of time stood at the gate calling towards the stables.
I am trying not to anthropomorphise the situation, but it does seem that he is calling for his lost friend.
My plan is just to continue with his routine as normally as possible, including riding, and just be patient and hope that time will help. We are also in the process of acquiring a Shetland-shaped permanent companion (god help us!) which could be here as soon as the weekend.
I just wondered if anyone had any experiences of this situation? I’m a bit out of my depth here and want to help him without making a fuss!
