March 30, 2007 - It's a nice day. Mikey and Ruby go out to graze together in the pasture.

 This might have been the first time Mikey and Ruby were turned out together. This might also have been the first time Ruby was out in the pasture without being hand-held, so the halter and lead rope stay on just in case she decides not to be caught. |

Their meeting went well - the clover was more interesting than they found each other. We did this (turned out together) a few days later, but the second time didn't go as well. No problem between horses, but Ruby dashed away and refused to be caught. She lost her pasture privileges thereafter. |
