I'm probably going to drive people crazy
When H and I were feeding early this morning (not light yet / no camera with me), Maddie and DunIT were laying down together in the same stall
They've got two small paddocks opened together with two stalls, so they chose to spend the night together
I had handbred Maddie to him last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and then after Monday morning, turned her out with him in his paddock to see if they'd get along. DunIT has been alone since last fall when he was getting way too rough with the geldings her grew up with. So, since that time, he's only had through the fence companionship and I've felt sorry for him.
Now, he's got Maddie and they get along so well, and like in many families, the woman is the real "boss" in the relationship
But they groom each other so much and it makes me feel so happy that DunIT now isn't lonesome all the time
