Hestene ble sluppet inn, og etter litt tjoheiløping roet det seg finfint. Faktisk så mye at det ble litt kjedelig. Men Sioux og Lafrieda lusket rundt hverandre med skuleblikk og brummelyder. Så møttes de "ansikt til ansikt" og hadde en slags stand off hvor de begge grov med frambena, pep og hvinte. Hvem som "vant" aner jeg ikke, men da virket det som det hele var over. Og, bare minutter senere barket de sammen. Det gikk kjempefort, og Lafrieda jogget over til Kamila som for å søke trøst. Og ble møtt med bakben der også! Huff! Heldigvis er hun bare truffet på rumpe og lår, ømt og vondt, men ikke noe alvorlig. Hun virket litt satt ut av Kamila's "svik", men stemningen roet seg betraktelig helt umiddelbart.
Sioux's wound and lameness has improved to such an extent that we feel it's time to let Lafrieda and Fia in with the mares and foals. The accident last time was just that, an accident. So, even though Lafrieda and Sioux are both strong mares, with Kamila low in rang, I don't expect a full out war or injuries this time round. And perhaps Fia will be just the companion Lita and Santee need too?
The two new horses were let in, and there was a bit of running around. Things calmed down very quickly, with Sioux and Lafrieda keeping a close and keen eye on each other. Then they met "face to face" for a bit of a stand-off with them both digging and squealing. I have no idea who "won", but it did seem as if all was solved. Then they had a proper show-down, over in seconds, with Lafrieda running over to Kamila for comfort. However, Kamila would have nothing of it, promptly showed her that she could kick too. Not nice, but thankfully Lafrieda was only kicked in the meaty part of the rump and thighs, which is undoubtedly uncomfortable, but not dangerous. She seemed a bit shell shocked by Kamilas "betrayal", but things calmed down instantly and remained so.
