Jag tycker att en bra hingst ska kunna gå med ston och föl. Det finns ingen anlending för en hingst att vara elak mot fölen – han får inte fler avkommor för det. Men innan man provat vet man så klart inte hur hingsten reagerar. Pepper har inte verkat bry sig om Tea och har varit bra med stona, men vi ville ta så få risker som möjligt och passade på att vara fyra personer, ett par långspön och lite hjälmar. Utifall att man skulle man bli tvungen att försöka gå emellan för att förhindra att hingsten försöker döda fölet vill man vara förberedd och ha så bra förutsättningar som möjligt. Vi valde också en hage som Tea känner (den är vanligtvis en liten del av den stora hon går i), men med bra uppsyn, jämt underlag och en möjlighet för oss att hinna komma nära hästarna om så skulle behövas. Bunny och Pepper fick även bära grimma så vi skulle ha en chans att kunna fånga dem.
Bunny and Tea knew where the gait was – and thought about taking that way out. |
When I left – not close together, but not very far away either. |
This picture don’t make Calinkas work justice – don’t know why she looked the worst while I had the camera in hand. |
För en gångs skull hann jag även med att mocka lite i hagen och bara plocka lite med allt möjligt. Calinka har dessutom fått jobba med Maria under fredagen och Sandra under lördag och idag.
Tidigare i veckan vägde jag hästarna med viktbandet och de börjar alla vara ungefär där jag vill ha dem i vikt.
Om jag minns rätt:
Pepper: 460 kg (Några kilo till skulle inte skada när han någon gång börjar jobbas ordentligt)
Percy: 470 kg (Hon vägde ca 420 när hon kom… men hon ser inte tjock ut så det är ok.)
Bunny: 435 kg (Lite mer hopas jag hon går upp, men hon har redan ökat bra sedan fölningen då jag tyckte hon var väl tunn).
Calinka: 415 (Hon är äntligen gått ner till vad jag tycker är lagom)
Tea: 70 kg
Nu är ju viktband kanske inte helt tillförlitliga, men de ger mig ett hum om hur hästarna ändrar i vikt.

Earlier last week I measured the horses with the weight tape. They starts to get where I want them to be.
If I remember correctly:
Pepper: 460 kg (A couple of more kilos wouldn’t be wrong when he get more fit.)
Percy: 470 kg (She weighted about 420 when she arrived but she doesn’t look fat so its ok.)
Bunny: 435 kg (I hope she gains some more, but she has already gained some since giving birth when she was a little to thin in my opinion.)
Calinka: 415 (She has finally lost some weight, which is positive).
Tea: 70 kg
The weight tape isn’t the most reliable tool – but at least it shows changes.

Curious horses – they didn’t even come when I called them |
They finally decided to come… |
Helpful? |
Pepper found a tree that was perfect to use for scratching… |
Hello! Are you coming to visit us! |
Tea is already eating a lot of grass. |
Most days Pepper and Percy have to cuddle a little when I let them out after feeding. |
The horse that makes silly faces as soon as the camera comes across… |
I like something about this picture even if it isn’t sharp. Pepper and Percy came running when I whistled. |
