I was a bit worried about last night and those miniature ponies as to
whether a
coyote may bother them since they are so small. They are yearlings and
about the
size of a large goat. And I kept the pinto pony Corky, a medium sized
horse in the
next fenced field, so they could acquint themselves but not physically
meet.

I wanted Corky to be with the miniatures tonight in case of coyotes.
Corky is
pretty aggressive so I took a heavy chain and snapped it on his halter
and weighed
down his back to meet the new two miniatures, so that he would not
kick any
of them. He lumbered over to them and did alot of smelling and tried
some biting
but the two miniatures were not afraid of Corky, so I took the chain
off. And watched
them periodically in the day. They became friends and a new herd, led
by Corky
since he is about thrice their size. And then I chased after the two
miniatures to
see if Corky would intercede and defend them. He did so by leading
them
away from me.

So the story is all coming up roses on these horses. They enrich my
grounds
and soil with fertilizer and they eat much of the grass to save me on
mowing.

Call it Landscape Architecture with ponies.

And it is a nice story about a lonely horse, who didn't have much to
live for
other than eat and going crazy by being lonely. So I took the trouble
to find
him some companions and he came back to life, prancing around like his
youthful years.
