Breaking the “Icy” with Mares is Tough

Another story for you…Icy is getting along fine and does well with Coin, Dudley and the Appys. I think there is a consortium of mares (led by Leslie’s big chestnut Thoroughbred) to keep him from really getting into the herd yet. I found him down in the stall (our barn has a section of wash rack to stall to paddock) with a “where are those mean girls?” look on his face. It’s so funny. His not being very dominant is good for us humans in being around him. I think he is right up there with Coin for being really sweet.
