[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 277803, member: 539"] I personally would walk them around the pasture, or saddle another horse and pony them. The reason being is that you have established a bond with them and they trust you to some degree. That will go a long ways towards providing these new horses with a security line and a little assurance in strange surroundings - especially since they are weanlings and usually have mush for brains and no practical experience with much of anything - and might just be the ticket to keep them from flying into a panic. Tying 'flags' on your fence might just be the ticket to scare them into a full blown panic and get them hurt. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
