Yearling split up from field buddy over winter

[daisydoo]

My 15 month old filly currently lives out with another youngster but the owner of the farm stables her horses all winter and I'm anxious my girl will go stir crazy and be difficult to handle if that happens. She will have a stable with a small pen attached so I will be able to let her roam around her pen and will take her for a graze and walk as often as possible. Do you think I'll have issues if she does have to be split up? I'm going to try and negotiate some field time so hopefully can compromise.

If she can still see the others then she should be fine. In fact it could be a good thing as it will teach her a bit more independance. If she can't see any other Horses I would be concerned and either look for another yard or see if you could borrow a friends Horse or Pony to keep yours company.
