Bringing my horse home after 7 weeks away being backed and brought on. Mega excited as he hasnt seen my best friends mare for about 9 weeks due to her moving a couple of weeks before I sent him away. He will be going to the same yard as her, so a new home for him and a new stable but back with his friend.
Im excited to bring him home and get him back with his little pal, but im not quite sure how to settle him in....
He sweats like a pig on the box, but when he comes off he is going to see new horses and a new yard - he will also see his friend and she is very vocal and calls him crazily when she sees him as shes excited and he gets all bouncy and excited too.
So dilemma for me is: do I put him into his stable and cool him off, do I take him off he box, rug and put out alone and leave his friend stabled or do I put him out with his friend?
Of course hes going to get excited but I dont want him to get over excited in the stable and hurt himself but I dont want him to get a chill when he goes out (will rug but he will be wet sweatty). We will be staying on the yard all day to sort stable and everything else out so they will be supervised.
He will be going out into a field with 6 foot (approx) fencing so he wont jump... his friend cant go in the next field as its out of bounds until it fully dries out.
What would you do and any advice?
