This morning was Charlie’s first day to really get a good look at his new temporary home and the ponies he would be sharing it with. We fenced off an outdoor area for him to get out in the sunshine during his early few days of recovery from his castration, and it proved to be the perfect meet and greet spot. It didn’t take long for the resident welcoming committee to show up to introduce themselves and check out this strange new guy who made very interesting sounds and smelled a lot! Charlie was curious too but otherwise he didn’t seem all that impressed.
Mouse was the first one to tentatively show up and once Charlie was declared ‘ok,’ Molly was next in line. Magic decided he had seen enough and would wait for another time to introduce himself. The ponies really didn’t seem all that sure what to make of the new guy but it went well and that’s the best we could have hoped for. Time will tell if any lasting friendships are forged between ponies and goat!
