i have already suggested he come here and play with the boys a while but he is still at a stage going back and forth with milk and pellets. He drinks milk from a bucket and she switches slowly to pellets and he does great a week or so and then slows way down on eating and drinking water and loses weight so she puts him back on milk. I guess he is being weaned in a sense. His dam and the other mare, all they do is kick his butt and no playing and when sylvia goes out there he goes nuts wanting to play. when we went on a trail ride Jaspar kept trying to correct him, irritably, another horse may have really kicked him down or something, Jaspar just lunged at him with ears pinned like knock it off, but her mare, his dam, flipped him over backward like a turtle when he jumped up on her chest. he is the most rambunctious high energy little thing I have ever seen. She does not beat him with the ball bat and fly swatter, uses them defensively to stop him. But I can remember nasi being a little rat like that and I had to get strict with him! Janice
