Day 9

Well lets see, when I fed this morning, the horses had somehow let Fallon out (her stall is in their paddock ... weird set-up...) and so she was roaming around with all of them this morning. I was able to catch her though without much fuss. So now I let her out during the day after she has her breakfast, and put her in at night.

I talked to my farrier and he thinks she has draft in her to. He said that during war time a long time ago, they turned draft horses, Thoroughbred, Arabs etc.. out with the herds to make cavalry horses. It completely explains why she is a hefty thick stocky solid built filly, and Mav is a tiny stick figure of a horse. The first time I saw him I told my mom I thought he was of Anglo-Arab origin (Thoroughbred/Arab cross) because he has a TB body but an Arab neck and head.

Mav is still jumpy and touchy but I was able to pet him and touch him with out the halter so I might be able to halter him without too much of a glitch. I'll post again this evening after I work with them today.
