Little One was kicked out of the herd around April 21st by Thunder during the time of the transition of the fence being built and the horses were acclimating between the 2 properties. We were not sure where he was, but hoped he was hiding in the woods at his old home. It took many searches and several weeks before he would even let us catch a glimpse of him. He has been hiding out in the woods at the other end of the property far away from the rest of the herd.
Last week he finally came out of hiding and let us get near him. Since then I have made several trips over there and when I call him, he comes out and will now eat carrots and alfalfa squares from our hands like he use to. Thunder banged him up on both of his sides. The owner of his old home is letting us fix up the old corral there so we can have a vet come and see him in there. He presently eats his treats inside the corral, which will make it easier for him to be comfortable there for vet visit.
The above photo was taken of him a year ago during happier times.
This photo was taken a few days ago when a friend was feeding him alpha squares. He use to be a bit aggressive and demanding but now he is very submissive. He is very lonely and I am looking into options for getting him back into the herd.
