I had one ex-polocrosse mare who adored herd life and I've never seen a horse who was more adept at wangling her way into the friendship of the boss mare and living safely under her protection, while never needing to be bossy herself. It is a skill that I'm sure she learned while turned out in the big herds on farms that the polocrosse people tend to spell them in. She had plenty of scars to show it wasn't always like that. I'm glad that you can look at the individual personhood of each animal and decide what is right for them. Nothing is right for every horse (or donkey) any more than it is for every human. <br /><br />I sent the link to this post to my sister, who still has horses. I think what you wrote about how stress can look in a horse is very important. T.L.

I'm so glad Emma has a place for Tessa in her little herd!RBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-51260170692193147292016-06-14T08:47:09.026-04:002016-06-14T08:47:09.026-04:00People don't always understand how savage mare...People don't always understand how savage mares can be. I had a mare that was never accepted in the herd, she was perfectly happy with the cows. She would look at the mare herd but happily follow the cow calf pairs. She never had any issues without horses in her life. Her foals never seemed to have a hard time joining the weaned foals and becoming herd members with the horses.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-42234248477523601282016-06-14T08:01:17.216-04:002016-06-14T08:01:17.216-04:00Poor Tessa.
