The mare recently had it's hooves trimmed too much and is now walking on eggshells. The owner's pasture is rocky which didn't help. My pasture is softer and the owners say she is walking much better here.
Because her feet are tender the owners didn't want these two horses with the other four right now until they get acquainted over the fence. Especially as this new mare has a dominant personality and this would cause friction with the existing horses' pecking order.
So the new horses will be in the NE pasture and the other four horses get to roam the corral and the north pasture. I let the four horses out into the north pasture this afternoon. They all will have plenty of grass and water while I am out of town attending class the next ten days.
