So Daisy has been here for nearly two weeks now, she seems to be settling in really well. Have managed to get her a royal blue turnout rug to match her blue and yellow headcollar (breeder's stable colours) (I know, I've become one of these people that buys matching stuff...and I LOVE it!).
She gets turned out with our old mare, so far they've not got on very well at all. Playmate is taking every opportunity she can to make it clear that she's alpha female. Thankfully they seem to have settled into some sort of amicable relationship now! I think the main problem is Playmate wants to stand and eat, then move forward a bit and eat some more, whereas Daisy wants to run around loads, snack, then run around some more! I think they're rubbing along in some sort of fashion where Playmate stands and eats and Daisy runs around her in circles. As long as the eating doesn't get disturbed, I think they'll be fine!
Haven't had much chance to get photos of her due to work and it getting dark so early, but these are a couple my dad took the day after Daisy arrived:
The plan for the next few months is to get some weight on her and help her strengthen up. She's keeping herself ticking over with all the running around but I will hopefully do some in hand basics with her and perhaps lunge her too a couple of nights a week. Basically trying to build up a relationship with her!
She's a cheeky little madam, but very sweet natured. Thankfully she's smaller than my other two so I can manage the slightly more upbeat temperament!
Thanks for reading, just wanted to show her off
