Lady is the oldest mare, she is over 30 and her son Sweetie is over 3 years old. Thunder is always picking on him so Lady and he are always together and often stay at a distance away from the rest of the herd except for feeding time. Although today for the first time in a long time Sweetie came up with the rest of the herd while Lady trailed behind. He even spent time with the other horses even Thunder for a little bit.
Sweetie has a special place in my heart as he was the first pinto to take a carrot /any food from my hand. He use to be a very calm horse but due to Thunder's harassment he has become quite skittish. I hope some day to have a round pen and maybe I will be able to work with him to calm him down and make him feel safe.
I have had the pintos over here for a week and have put in a trough for water for them. They have all been drinking out of it. They usually drink from springs here or at the property next door.
