He remembers her every time he sees her. I would rather he was like Durango that way.cowgirljlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17887868547209985090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851332564805184966.post-82022497688168893532012-02-24T22:23:42.269-08:002012-02-24T22:23:42.269-08:00Thanks cousin, that makes me feel a better.

I don't want him showing unusual aggression. And me being new to all this, I wasn't sure.Cousin Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11120942644496972011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851332564805184966.post-30365153317405029882012-02-24T07:49:24.613-08:002012-02-24T07:49:24.613-08:00Betsy, you don't want a horse that's herd ...Betsy, you don't want a horse that's herd bound! You have a total blessing on your hands! I, too, have a horse who would probably be happier on his own and has no quarrels about leaving the other horses. It makes life so much easier. That same horse is also kind of aggressive toward the other horses and is definitely the pack leader, but that's just something horses have to work out. You're not going to change your horse's personality or his place in the pecking order, and frankly, you don't want to! I really don't see any issues here, except I don't know about turning horses loose together who aren't typically paddocked together...you remember what happened with Loretta and Riley? When you throw two horses together like that, they are really quick to establish who's boss, and it can be really dangerous for the horses. That's not Durango's fault, I just haven't ever turned my horses loose in a confined space with other horses they don't know, nor would I.Grace's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934486826691166709noreply@blogger.com
