I have to keep telling myself this. That these guys were bought so that I could "upgrade" them, put some training on them and resell them. Not to keep. I already have horses that meet my needs and come from my own program.
But Max is such a sweetie that I have a hard time imagining having to sell him. Today after their morning oats I took Matt & Max and turned them out into a bigger field, the one Aaron is in. I figured that Matt would be happy to be back with some of his other buddies and Max would like to have more space to run and eat in. Not so.
After I led Max over to the other pasture, I let him go and he followed me around as I walked around looking for things to pick up, like broken branches and such. I walked him over to the other horses but he kept going back to the waterer. I've been going out to check on him and he still isn't really hanging out with the other horses in his pasture. Instead he's hanging out beside the waterer, staring over to where we have our ponies. We have 2 palomino pony mares and a brown pony gelding. He seems quite interested in those other yellow horses.
I might just have to put him back out with Ben & Bobby, but that paddock isn't very large and I have been wanting to move the colts as they get easy to catch and handle.
