Sparrow has been doing so well that we decided he could be put out with the two ponies during the day. That way he could move around and have some company during the day. With it currently being hay season I dont have as much time to work with him and didnt want him to be lonely.
Yesterday we came home from the fields to find Sparrow in the large pasture that we turn out all of our mares onto. He was perfectly happy munching away and allowed me to walk right up to him without running away to keep his new freedom. After catching his we discovered no injuries the would be sign of him running through a fence, after inspecting the pen he WAS in we determined there was no possible escape. All of the fencing was undamaged and the gate was still tightly closed. The only possible way of escape we can think of was him jumping over the fence. What a wonderful talent lol. My horse, Oliver, has a lovely habit of doing the same thing when he gets bored. (Hey mom, I guess i just have a knack for finding natural jumpers haha). Because Sparrow allowed me to walk right up to him in the large pasture we decided he can stay there during the day and go back to his own pen at night. So far he is loving the new arrangment and having a great time investigating his new ssurroundings :)
