And no, she's not going to stay there. I would have preferred it, but I am taking her in the trailer and bringing her home after the event. What I hope is the event. I took her Saturday and she about killed the stallion, absolutely refused him. The studhorse man said wait a few more days.
Funny how that works. One day they want nothing to do with the stud, the very next day they love him:)
I just put Belle in the small pasture I have behind the house, not much there, but I figure she gets tired of being in that run, especially when the other horses get to get out once in a while.
There;s a little back there for her to pick at. I put her there for a few hours yesterday too. The funny thing is Rocky, he just goes nuts. I guess because he can't see her. Yesterday he was turned out on his pasturea area, and he ran around squalling till he was all sweaty, it was funny. I left him in his run today, it's fun to watch him run around crazy, but it makes me nervouse when he's running at a fence line and does a sliding stop right at the last second. I'm always afraid he'll slide right thru. He can't get going so fast in his run. He's out there hollering at her tho now.
I had Rusty and Harley turned out in their "pastures" yesterday at the same time. Rusty's in the front yard, and Harley's is behind the barn connected to the arena. They were running around as fast as they could too. Rusty especially. I was watching his back leg too, and it didn't seem to have a problem at all, and he was really moving and stopping hard. I've got grass cut up all over where he was slide stopping. One time he made the prettiest jump over a puddle that was in my driveway:)
Belle...she could have cared less, she was busy trying to find something to graze one:)
