Christina,
how's it going with Nine? You said it's been windy lately, I dread winter coming when they really feel their oats! Try to at least saddle him up daily and let him walk around with it.....Also don't forget to have someone take pictures so we can share in your successes! We put one of our 4 yr old mustangs with the two yearlings and Pardon yesterday in a round pen where they could graze. You shoulda heard the sounds that came from getting a "pecking order" in tact! It was awesome.....was also trying to get the new ones a "buddy" they could know when we send them to pasture.
