Since moving fields, Beauty is now next to a beautiful grey mare called Abbey. Abbey had a serious leg injury a while back and her owner won’t risk putting her in with other horses because, if she got kicked, it could very likely mean she would end up getting PTS. So Abbey is a pretty lonely horse. Her Dad spends a lot of time with her and looks after her very carefully and well, but I have watched her for 3.5 years now and often felt her loneliness. Like all horses, she wants to be with other horses.
Beauty has been lonely since her former field mate left. She and Abbey have become very close and fond of each other. Although there is a fence seperating them, they graze along the fence together, stand under a tree together and have regular grooming sessions over the fence. I have been determined to get some photos of grooming time and yesterday I got lucky!
