wow what can i say, my new horses are loving there new home. my male is eating like a little pig, his favorite place to hitch is next to the feeding station.he sits and waits for his dinner to be served. my female likes to chase her food, but so far i am having luck with target feeding her and getting her to the feeding station. i figure in the next couple of weeks, it shouldn’t be a problem to get her to meet me at the feeding station. as long as i target feeder her she eats like crazy. i can’t believe how much they eat my male eats between 6-10 shrimp at a feeding and the female eats 6-8 shrimp, they eat a little less first thing in the morning but come dinner time wow.
the pair have already tried to mate once since getting here, unfortunately the female was not able to get here eggs into the males pouch and lost them. thats ok i am not sure that i am ready for fry as of yet. it still amazes me how quickly they have accilmated to there new enviroment. i couldn’t be happier with our horses.
