Weaned

I have been slack, and put the official weaning in the Too Hard Basket. Not that it is particularly difficult, but I've been busy studying, and it has been so wet lately that mum's paddock management has been up the wazoo.

I did attempt weaning a while ago and nothing untoward happened. Bella is quite confident and is happy in the company of any of the other horses. I hardly ever see her with Eden. The only time I've ever seen her upset is if all the horses move away from where she is and she can't figure out how to get to them (ie they're in the paddock, and she's in the race). Having said that, she doesn't panic.

Anyway, I felt today was as good as any other day, so caught Eden (hardly difficult) and lead her to another paddock.

Eden couldn't have cared less (was probably waiting for this day to happen! lol) but Bella had a few things to say. Bella and Layla whizzed around the paddock for a bit - if anything Layla put more effort into the 'tantrum'. Bella whinnied a bit but she wasn't frantic.

By the time I had walked back up the race, everyone had settled down.
