Caymen and the Baby Horse ***pics***

[CMP]

We have a wee baby horse on our yard. He has recently been turned out in a wee electric fenced paddock in the field so he gets used to the big horses.

I arrived this afternoon and baby horse had been turned out with the big guns. My friend took some pics. Caymen is herd leader and very protective of the little ones. The shetland ponies were accidently turned out in his field and they were getting chased about and bullied until C was turned out and protected them. I would have been really worried about how he would have behaved had that not happened.

The pics do the talking. I'm very proud of my boy :biggrin:

That is so sweet and the sign of a true herd leader IMO. The real Big Daddys or Big Mommas will always protect the young, even if they have to occasionally put some manners on them. Never nasty just quietly make their point to the youngest herd members but equally quick to protect them.:wub:

The mud is ridiculous but we have just had soooo much rain, it's all mush around the gate. Fortunately, they just graze and dont hang about too much there!

Saddle is not on ebay yet. I think I might wait until free listings. I had someone enquire about it this morning so will leave it until weekend at least.

I'm not surprised that you are proud of him, you should be. What a lovely boy to look after the baby like that.

Thanks! The fields are hideous and I'm glad it's not just ours that look like that! Unbelivably, he has recovered from his mud fever despite these conditions. How, I do not know! :biggrin:
