My Good Progress!!

[soph21]

Bertie is still locked in a stable, but yesterday and today he was really quiet and calm so yesterday morning i let him say hello to Buddie (welsh A) over the stable door and they were both fine!
So this morning i brought Buddie in from the field and let him in the yard with all the gates shut. and theres a 'grassy patch' joined on to the yard which is handy. So then i let Bertie out of his stable and they said hello, Bertie sniffed all of Buddies legs to makesure he was a horse as he's smaller than Bertie!! Then he embaressed Bud's by trying to find milk!!
Then they started grazing!!!! about an hour later i lead him back in to his stable and he was a good boy. Do you think it would be too early to put him out with both Buddie and Bear tomorrow? Bears not a nasty horse, i just need some experienced advice about it LOL!!
I'll put pictures up in the PG.
Im so pleased they got on so well!
Thanks for reading this any advice welcome.

I would let them all meet over the stable door before turning him out. Also, I would recommend you make sure he trusts you first and he has a fieldsafe headcollar on, as he may be awkward to catch initially.

He is fine to catch, i caught him half a dozen times while he was out this morning I lead him round for a minute and let him off again, put rug on and off a few times while he was loose! He has such a laid back character for a baby! he's known me since he was a day old so i have done allsorts over the last 7 months ie starjumps and swinging ropes LOL!
