Don't you love how even the most alpha mare will be gentle with a child.<BR/><BR/>LOL about having the mares up front and the guys in back.

Thanks Leah, I hate being bored, but I could sit at the barn all day because there is always 'stuff' going on. <BR/><BR/>I should have said about their ages. MIREE is a 3yo, TELPE is just two, but they're about the same size. There is another filly in with them that is just a year old and is almost their size, but shes still very much a baby and watchs all this from far away. But she's very sweet anyway and I'm not sure would ever be a lead mare. Certainly not in this herd.Becky Burkhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142877898930589440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547899146817683728.post-45899768310302149482008-01-13T08:01:00.000-06:002008-01-13T08:01:00.000-06:00Oooh!

(Now is she older or younger than Telpe, younger isn't she? Yet she's determined to be an alpha!) Good post, Sue.Leah Braemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096818299653189737noreply@blogger.com
