The newest girl is in the herd! Only some minor shifting of weight and checking out each others' moves. Feeding time was a larger ka-fuffel than anything else. The paint and the other mare were clear in their intention of eating before the perky 'little' Golden Girl. She accepted this and patiently waited her turn with a "Sheesh. Chill out, already."
Her feet are all cleaned up and watching her move is just dreamy.
The other mare wanted nothing to do with this reunion nonsense and kept her distance.
On a slightly sad note for myself, Max made the big trip to the trainer last night. Managed to sell the paint and decided it would be really nice if I put the extra coin toward some education. His learning is going to be centred on simply becoming a softer, more consistently-gaited, trail mount. I want everything to be old news to him when I take him out. We have a camping trip planned with Max and Bill the second weekend of September and this will just be the thing to set us up for success! I'm excited for him to be getting out and experiencing a bigger life, but I'm really sad not to see his charming self in our pasture!!
