About three weeks ago Romantico made his first little friend. Or actually she was not so small. And in his opinion not so friendly either. Despite her attempts to approach him he was terrified.
Whenever she approached he would shy away and hide behind me or Bellis for comfort. He was like a small child clinging to his mother(s) legs at his first birthday party. Luckily his mother is well hard, Bellis that is NOT me, and sends the other two running if they get too close.
The way he has been acting lately I have to say it came as quite a surprise. This was miles away from the cheeky little sod he has been lately, raring up on his mother and biting us in the knees. Suddenly it is in his interest to behave well.
The other mare and her foal, Chloe, stayed with us for two weeks up to the foal show. Bellis seemed to really appreciate the company, although she was careful not so show it too much. And the day before the show Romantico seemed to have overcome the fear of his two month older new girlfriend and actually instigated a play fight. I’m sure they both miss them now that they are gone…
