Blue and Oscar Meet

We decided to put Oscar out in the field with Blue for a while. The plan is eventually to build stables in the field but there is all the rigmarole of planning permission etc. and at the moment there is only shelter for one horse. Blue, being the thoroughbred would be in the part of the field with the shelter and Oscar, being a cold blood would manage. So we spend ages putting up an electric fence to divide the field so that they could introduce themselves without actually being in the same field.
The day came when we got up at 5 and walked Oscar through the village to the field. We were a bit anxious about this as Oscar was a nervous, unbroken young horse. Rubbish. He shied only the once when he heard water running down a drain other than that he was 100 times better than Blue is when you walk him anywhere and Blue is 13 for goodness sake.
