Tough but Fair
Excellent news. I have always had an older “nanny” horse in with weanlings and yearlings, it helps to prevent a “Lord of the Flies” type situation developing and let’s a natural herd order establish itself.

Perfect update, so glad the natural hierarchy has worked itself out now with the help of wise little mare.

Can we have a photo of the lovely Sugar?
Ambers Echo
Still wittering on
Yes it is interesting that she has taken the boys down a peg or three. They have been with adults since weaning until they moved in with Mylo and have always been pretty well mannered and polite. I guess that is because they were lower in the pecking order? I had read youngstock can go together, so thought a pair of 2-year olds and a 10 month old would be ok. But they immediately started behaving like 'too cool for school' adolsecents, not deigning to be nice to a little guy! But Sugar has brought them back down to size.
Here she is wandering over to say hello to me, after telling Cass to back off.
Then a pic of Felix snapping away and approaching tentatively, Mylo sensibly staying out the way, and Cass being a bit bold. You can just see a bit of leg to tell where she is! She is behind them all.
