| Rory's sister with Rory out in the field |
Rory passed another milestone this week. I brought him in for the night and put him in his stall. He was all by himself in the barn, and his grain wasn't even in the feeder yet. Apart from wanting to know where his dinner was he was fine. He didn't fuss but started eating his hay. He's in a separate small barn that only houses three horses at the moment and they usually bring Rory in last. I stayed for a few minutes and filled the three water buckets. No whinnying, no pawing or other fussing, just calm hay munching. Even when I left him and went to get his dinner he just kept munching. I fed him and put the other horses feeds in their stalls and then headed for home.
I was so happy with him because his mum was the worst for being fussy and screaming and fidgety when she was brought in alone for any reason. She was a real PITA on the cross ties. Rory is very alert, but stands very well on cross ties now. I won't even qualify that with a "for his age" because he's better than half the horses in the barn already!
Rory's ribs are disappearing again. He must be getting ready for a new growth spurt.
