Veggie has been very busy living in winter. He runs daily with the herd and he is finally knowing how to move as a 'flock' instead of banging into everyone in corners. He follows the herd around and sometimes leads them to the woods... and he's eating a LOT!
In the past few days...I have seen him actually PLAY with Daas, Rico and Jet. Amazing for him really. Instead of seeing the initiation of play as aggression and responding with his 'tazmanian devil' impersenation...he is playing. He only plays until it gets a bit 'boy rough' and then his fear factor kicks in and he stops playing. It's a great thing for him and I'm happy to see it in him...finally. Maybe the intense feelings he felt during the storm and bonding more with his 'brothers' he is feeling more like a horse should. He's exploring these feelings and overriding his learned responses towards aggression. I think he is finding his peace! Good timing.
Peace on Earth!!!
