Into the herd

Today we planned to take Farsæll to our other horses outside. But how to do that? He would not just follow us on a lead like the grown and trained horses and it wouldn't make a lot of sense to put him into a trailer for a 5 minutes drive. So we decided to put a belt around Hekla and attach him to this belt. So he has to follow and can't do stupid things on the way.
Hekla is always nice to the foals and so it was no trouble to use her for that job. It was amazingly easy to put the halter on Farsæll and lead him to Hekla today. When we attached him, he just stood still and when we started to walk, he did it like it was the most natural thing for him to walk with halter stuck to another horse.
The walk was a bit tiring as there was so much snow on the way and I sometimes sank in up to my knees. But when we arrived on the big field, walking was easier for all of us and so Farsæll tried to run a bit, but as he was strapped to Hekla, he couldn't escape and enjoy his freedom.
After entering the meadow where our horses stay, we took off his halter and let him go. Well, we tried to let him go... He liked a lot more to stay with Hekla, who he already knew. But the other foals made it easy for him and tried to make friends. It was good to see that nobody chased him trough the whole field.
Have a look at him in "Videos"-"Farsæll coming into the herd" and there are a few pics of him too.
