Och
allt gick bra! De sprang en del och Bunny talade med stor tydlighet om
att Pepper var både ful, dum och skulle hålla sig på avstånd. (Skulle
tro att det ändrar sig om någon dryg vecka när hon borde börja brunsta).
Pepper försökte självklart imponera med sitt stiligaste sätt att röra
på sig. Efter ett tag fick de komma ut i resten av hagen medan vi
fortsatte att hålla ett öga på dem medan Calinka tömkördes. Calinka har
inte alls varit sig själv senaste dagarna, extremt stel och öm i kroppen
och med aldrig tidigare skådade reaktioner på det. Nu gick hon faktiskt
riktigt bra i tömkörningen - bättre än många pass. Kul, men jag förstår
ingenting. Pepper hade fått en tömkörningspromenad innan ihopsläppet.
Percy fick åter gå med Calinka.
Pepper, Bunny and Tea in the same pasture
I
think that a good stallion should be able to be share his pasture with
mare and foals. There is no reason for a stallion to be mean to the
foals - he don't get more offspring because of that. But before you have
tried if a stallion behaves well you don't know his reactions. Pepper
hasn't seemed to care about Tea before - from the other side of the
fence. He has been treating his mares well, but we didn't want to take
more risks than necessary and was four person, a couple of long whips
and helmets. If you have to get in and try to separate a stallion from
killing a foal you want to have as good conditions as possible. That was
also the reason to chose a pasture that Tea knows well (a part of the
one she uses normally), with good sight, flat ground and not to big so
it would be possible to get to the horses if needed. Bunny and Pepper
also got to wear halters so we would have a chance to catch them.
And
everything went fine! The ran some, but Bunny told Pepper clearly that
he was ugly, stupid and that she or her daughter didn't want anything
with him to do. (Guess she changes her mind in a week or so when she is
supposed to get in heat). Of course Pepper had to show of - trying to
impress her with his most beautiful way of moving. After some time we
let them get into the full pasture and we kept an eye on them while long
reining Calinka. Calinka have not been herself lately, extermly stif,
tense and with never before seen reactions. Today she worked really good
on the rein - on of her best long rein sessions. I don't understand a
thing.Pepper got a long rein walk before he get to meet his new wife.
Percy got back with Calinka.
Bunny and Tea knew where the gait was - and thought about taking that way out. |
When I left - not close together, but not very far away either. |
This picture don't make Calinkas work justice - don't know why she looked the worst while I had the camera in hand. |
