Today we made the first step reintegrating the herd. Little Twister has begun really bucking and rearing back all the way around the hay ring. I actually think he can outrun Mom, as she was pouring it on and he was able to keep ahead of her. Now in her defense, she tried a few maneuvers to cut him off and drive him the other direction. He had not listened to her and she was running to catch him to show him that she could. About 3/4 of the way through the challenge he realized that he was in trouble and ran back up to the barn with her a close second.
His run began when he was showing off for Daddy (Lightning) and our Thoroughbred, Hassle. He was playing with them and trying to run with him. His Mom has relaxed quite a bit and she has introduced Twister to the rest of the herd across the fence for the last few days. We decided to bring Lightning back over with Sally and Twister and it was a seamless integration. They all even go in and out of the same stall without incident, even though there is space for each to have their own. We are excited that they are all doing so well!
