Introducing a new horse to the herd - Part 1

Part 2 shows what happened when they were put in a paddock together.    • Introducing a new horse to the herd -...  

We have an established herd of four horses and on this day we have introduced a fifth, a mare named Mysty who is an Irish Draught. Zara the other grey mare in this video is a highly dominant Russian arab x trotter who will not tolerate any dissent from other members of the herd. The new girl is a full hand higher and about 150Kg heavier which should make things interesting. They will be sharing a paddock in the next few days once they have had chance to get to know each other across the fence.

NOTE: The new girl became the dominant horse in the herd by July 2013
