[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3421"] Try and spend some extra time with Alvin, Mar. If weather permits, give him some daily exercise to focus his mind and just to generally help him to feel better. As you know, horses are herd animals, and now that Alvin has spent some time with another horse, he's going to have to take some time to get used to being by himself again. Other animals as companions will help, but he's not going to accept them into his "herd" immediately. You are Alvin's herd leader and he will do best with some extra attention from you. Don't spoil him - just help him out with a bit of work and attention, even if it's just a daily brushing and hoof picking. > Hi.
