In which some changes are made

Today was another busy one. We've had a problem, the last few times we rode out, where a certain black horse was coming back very sweaty indeed, not because I've been making him run around so much as that we're doing 7-8 miles at a gentle but consistent pace in hilly terrain. That meant Zorro and Small had to be in their stables for the morning so they would stay dry ( they didn't mind this as they had haynets and it was absolutely bucketting down outside ) This afternoon our helpful friend Liz came over with her big clippers and we did some hairdressing.

After that was finished, I put a nice new rug on him and took him back out to his field so he could practice rolling and see if he could trash it. The field has been divided into three for a while, one section belonging to Donk, then Small after Donk started jumping out, one for Zorro and one being rested. Today we thought we could open up the rested side a bit and let the big fellow graze on it, so I rolled back the fence a bit and through he went. This made him happy.

Then, we let someone else out into the field...

Zorro and Small have been separated by at least an electric fence since late July, but with Small feeling much brighter lately we thought we would see how they got on together.
