went to the field this morning and found several horses to be in the reeding area, i entered with a bucket - my planing being to take some water up to my lillte lija, and then she appeared from around the corner, i was quite shocked and didnt expect the herd to be quite so tollerant of this.  i still offered her some water but she was un-interested and wanted to have a foot bath instead.

the feed went well, and i would have stayed for nap tip however we had things to do and so for the first time i had to leave lilja at the yard.  we returned later in the afternoon and we took vinur and lilja out for a litlle walk around the nearest lake, she was rather nervous about leaving the field, bnut we had vinur as a lead and lilja and i just followed.  we stopped a few time for a little grass, as she had been only lead from a stable to a field before she was rather pushy and wasnt sure how to follow my lead, so having vinur to follow helped immensely.  we did decide to turn around half way as there was a local farm chopping wood with a tractor, and we decided that a first time around the lake was maybe enough for lilja little mind.

the evening feed went well with no problems, she is really being accepted alot more into the herd. freya and lilja were scratching oneanother, however the one thing that does supprise me, is idja the other young extroverted horse is not atall nice to her, i would have thought that she would have been very keen to get a friend to play with.
