The guy who brought him (also brought along his mom for support) reminded us that 2 of our horses were pastured with the colt for several months - he thought he would do better if we put him with them after the took the mother away. So we did.... They are doing great. He made his "baby mouth" at them... they showed him around the pasture - they all have been standing in barn with no bad behavior. He is wearing a halter for the first time.
He needs a lot of cosmetic care - he seems to have not ever been groomed - has horrible flakey skin (maybe rain rot).... but he does like to be brushed - so hopefully dd can get him in ship shape condition soon.
Here are a couple of pictures.....
That 's it for today... Thanks for looking at all these photos!! And for sharing our excitement!
