Turning new horse out with others for the first time!

[Blizzard]

Well I did it today!

New boy has been in the school for 5 days and today I put him in with the gang!
He just wants to be friends with everyone but he bloody holds his own and gives as much back if they start on him!

He looked absolutely beautiful, he has the most gorgeous floating paces anyway, and he was trotting and cantering around, complete with flying changes! with his tail in the air, ooh I wish I had been close enough to film it!

Considering he has had 8 months doing nothing he hasnt forgotten a thing it seems I hope he looks a tenth as good with me on him!

Anyway, after 5 mins and a bit of bickering, mostly from the mares fighting to be near him LOL, they all settled down to graze!

Him and my other boy had a good gallop round too so Im hoping they will bre friends!

so pleased that initial 5 mins when your heart is in your mouth is over!

for those who havent seen my beautiful new boy, or want to see some more pics, Ive just posted some more of when he first arrived last weekend here in picture gallery:

He is lovely, very kind looking and glad he turned out o.k......is that a very spangly new rug i can spy!!!

Glad he has settles in OK they soon sort out their pecking order don't they but it is very worrying at the same time. I'm sure he will look just as stunning with you on his back!

It's always a bit nerve wracking turning them out with the rabble for the first time isn't it??

Glad it seemed to go well though.

Love your signature

Thanks Amymay, only took me 2 hours LOL.

Well the hay was put in the field tonight, its 2 huge bales in one of those matal rings, well my poor boy wasnt allowed a look in! Im sure it will die down in a couple of days though!
