Five acres of sweet freedom

We finished the task of collecting old fence posts and barbed wire from the back portion of the main pasture, making it safe for the females. We altered the temporary fencing to allow the smaller pasture to rest and rejuvenate, and herded the ladies into the new larger area.

We had anticipated they might take a while to acclimatize to the new surroundings, but we were quite mistaken. The Cria took off at a gallop across the filed, with the Moms in hot pursuit. The gang surveyed the whole pasture and spread out to enjoy the new fresh grass.
