The stable where I keep my gelding is considering turning out all the horses together.
To date, they have been in separate pastures. There are seven geldings(I hope we get another soon as I think there should be even numbers) and five mares (hope we get another mare soon too for same reason).
My concern is that some of the horses have hind shoes and some do not .Also, I feel that the individual personalities need to be taken in to account. I would love some input and perhaps personal experiences???? Can this work well? How should it be introduced?
We have a couple of months before this will be implemented so I really want to get a handle on this and find out all I can before I give them my opinion. I don't have a valid opinion yet, just concerns and questions!!!! Help?
