Join us for a long chat on a windy day. Show correction of hear leader and how he reacts to the herd

I accidentally turned off the video, so it stops suddenly!
I was talking about correcting Banjo for being too pushy. He then did what I was discussing. He went to nip me and I lightly smacked him. He pranced off and pushed away other herd members. It is like he's saying: "hey, I know the human is herd leader, But I'm still second in charge, don't forget it."
The younger horses have put most of their weight back on. Arthur, is looking better, will take another month. Cleo is almost on target and so is Penny.
Penny turns 30 this month.
The large square oaten bale has so far lasted two weeks, is not mouldy and will probably last another two weeks. That was very good value. Approximately 20 small bales. It give the horses access to constant forage, as there's no enough pasture. Though we are in Spring and we are getting regular enough rain to keep us going. The older horses still need hard feed and the young ones can now have hard feed as treats.
Thanks for sharing our lives :)
