This message is from: "Susan Gray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This may be a silly question, but our new colt, Merlyn who was born April 27th is extremely infatuated with his big (11 year old) gelded half brother Pluto. He is constantly jumping on his back with his front legs in that amorous sort of way, biting at his butt and hind legs, and yes I even saw him nip at that too! Pluto is extremely tolerant! As long as there is green grass or hay in front of him, he just stands there. On occasion Pluto will move and even turn to nip at Merlyn, but nothing major. My question is that this is now interferring with Merlyn's attention span when it comes to us working with him leading etc. in the adjoinin pasture. Should we separate them on a regualr basis? Will this get worse before he finally gets gelded? Merlyn is sharing a pasture right now with Pluto and their Mom (who is inseperatable from Pluto and is still nursing Merlyn.) Boys!
