Henrietta crossed the line this morning and became one of the 'big horses'. I have given her a creep fence where she can get under but Nettles and Jack can't so that she can come and visit me any time she fancies seeing what is going on and also wear her feet down on the more abrasive surfaces. This morning when I got the horses in ready for riding (fat chance, it tipped it down again!), she crept through the fence to come and investigate what we were doing.
Rather like Goldilocks she made her way around each horse and each hay pile before making a decision about which seemed to be the best. Theoden seemed quite promising...
...but Bella wasn't so keen on sharing.
In the end she became Theoden's latest conquest and I've left her able to choose which set of horses she would prefer to spend her time with.
Incidentally I can now touch her right up to her forelock, such as it is, down and under both eyes, over both flat cheeks, and underneath her entire jaw. Slow but sure.
