The Introduction

I have bred dogs, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, but never anything as big as a horse. And technically, I still haven't. We are hoping to get Pixie, our miniature horse, bred. Still, a mini stallion is plenty feisty enough to handle.

But Farm Girl did manage to get him to the breeding pasture, where he immediately let loose and tested his new grounds.

Which followed with the usual head shaking.

Then ran around Pixie's stall trying to get to her.

Until eventually he gave up and calmed down.

We gave him a couple hours before introducing Pixie.

Who, apparently, was not in heat.

So began the chase for dominance instead.

Turns out Joey is a gentleman. Or Pixie is more assertive than I ever gave her credit.

It didn't take long for them to establish Pixie was boss and they were able to graze contently side by side.
