Threw Buster back in with his buddies yesterday after a month convalescence. The greetings were beautiful to see. Lots of rearing and strutting their stuff - they were obviously very pleased to see each other. The last time they saw him he was very poorly indeed, and they were clearly concerned.
It's interesting that the closest relationships seemed to be between the older stallions, and Bobby, who thinks he is one. The geldings and younger stallions held back until it was their turn.
Best of all was little Miller, who treated us to 4 strides of perfect Spanish walk - legs were straight out horizontal from his shoulder. I do wish I'd had my camera.
If he's capable of that loose in the field, should I be working out how to get him to do it under saddle?
