After being penned in their paddock all winter, the horses and donkey were at last able to sample the luscious green grass that has been shooting up all spring. A new pasture was finally fenced and waiting for them. First into the new field was Louis the donkey. I led him through the gate and he quickly set to taste-testing the wonderful field greens. Upon seeing their little companion disappearing through the new gate, the horses quickly followed. First Mousie…
and then with great excitement, Czarina.
The trio made a circuit of the fence to check out their new limits and then set to grazing. But Louis just couldn’t contain his joy!
He took off at a gallop, and soon the big girls couldn’t resist joining in. Look at that little guy motor!
After a good gallop, everyone got back to what’s important.
They look so happy! That’ll be nice for them to have some more room to roam. I’m glad you were able to get something put up for the summer. Looks like you went with electric fencing after all?
Great pictures! I’m glad they are all pleased with their nice new pasture. Louis is so adorable, I wish I could give him a hug!
