This message is from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I agree that it depends on the horses. I have my Fjord mare share the non-pasture turnout with two older Appy geldings during the day. The Appys are a pair, they really prefer each other's company over her. My mare and the 'herd boss', the 1/2 blind younger one of the two, will mutually groom. But the two Appys get to graze all night, and she stays in. This has helped me a lot, as we often ride out alone and I can't have a horse that is inseparable from a herd. Also, FWIW, my mare really likes other mares and doesn't seem to get too hot and bothered over boys.
