The brothers are getting along quite well now that Dino lives next to Pico. (Though we did get some definite cross looks and hmmpfh! paying attention the baby horse are you? reactions from Pico the first few days especially. I’m always careful to make sure Pico gets the last goodnight cuddle and treat from me, so he knows he’ll never be replaced in my affections no matter how fond I may also be of his baby brother)

It’s good that Pico really likes Dino now – it means while stuck on box rest he’ll actually appreciate visits from Dino over his door.

Pictorial evidence of their friendship:

Pico stealing hay from Dino – right from Dino’s mouth. Well, Dino did have a very big mouthful of hay (he regularly will grab a big mouthful and then stick his head out, thereby dropping hay outside the box). Dino didn’t seem to mind, or even notice that he was ‘sharing’ with Pico :laugh:

The boys having a nice mutual grooming session while Pico’s leg dries after cold hosing. Getting all that itchy moulting hair out for each other!
