Power exchange
In the last week we have gone from this . . .
And this
And finally to this
And this.
In other words we have gone from Remi being boss horse, to
Mac usurping him and becoming boss horse. As demonstrated by Mac happily coming
up and sticking his nose in Remi’s feed bucket and then peacefully displacing
Remi to the next feed bucket!
Mac now nudges Remi and moves him round and round the
paddock. Mac also comes up and nips Remi when I am fiddling with Remi’s feet.
Not seen any signs of fighting and all seem fairly peaceful. I am not pleased
though, Mac is a cheeky whatsit, and I would much prefer Remi to keep him
inline and keep him squashed!
I had words with Mac about nipping Remi when I was doing
Remi’s feet, and Mac ran to the other end of the paddock and sulked (because he
had been shouted at). I had to go and catch him to do his feet! Mac is not
allowed to be ultimate herd leader, that is allegedly my job.
