It was a lovely sunny morning and Flossie arrived home for a long weekend (lovely).

So, of course, I immediately put her to work and we moved the three old Icelandic horses to the large back field, where they will stay until Autumn.  Well, that’s the plan.  This is where Fivla and Vitamin are already living.

So we had Haakon and Kolka on headcollars, trusting Iacs to follow.  How stupid was I?  I didn’t listen to Floss who said I should’ve led Iacs and of course, he got distracted and left behind.

But we put Kolka and Haakon in the field, where FIvla and Vitamin were.  I thought it would be good for them to have some company of their own age.  More friends to talk to.

Haakon was his usual self and I could see he was wondering where Iacs had got to.  He is used to this.  We all are.

And Flossie kindly went to fetch Iacs.

While the others made friends.

I think Vitamin has a new BFF now. I felt rather sorry for Fivla who looked left out.

Flossie spent a little time with Fivla, her Shetland pony.

And I must say that I think Vitamin brightened up considerably.

So that’s it for spring and summer.  Hopefully, these horses and ponies can all stay together and be friends.  I think it will do all of them good and maybe they can share the care-in-the-comunity responsibility that is Iacs who does tend to get lost frequently in this field.  *** sigh *** – he is not the brightest star in our firmament.
