Horses are by nature herd animals; they don't fare all that well on their own.And my poor horse, Najale, has been all on his lonesome for almost a year and a half now.
Enter Sweets, or Sweet Lady Grey (her full name).
Najale dances and squeals and gallops and races around, incredibly excited by the presence of another equine.
I put them in adjoining pens for a few hours until the fireworks peter out, and then let them formally meet.
A few more squeals - a couple well-placed kicks from each one - soon they are grazing together in harmony.
Looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
