Moved Louka, Arani and Oscar to new diggs today

We had a bit of wind and sun- PErfect for drying out the paddocks...Oh God how I want it to dry up. Gypsy & Sarg were in the small haybarn paddoc and I moved them to across the stream Yay Weather forecast says showers not a deluge) so I can leave them there tonight as well...Boy were they pleased to go there. Louka, Oscar and Arani have had to learn to go out onto the flats through the narrow gateway at the other end of the yards,,,Nice grass there- (Was hoping to get them gelded if the weather was fine) but NO still raining tonight.Bahhhh....I had been saving that paddock for there convalessing- to bad have to get them out of the mud...and give the smaller paddock a good rest- maybe the grass will grow back through the mud- here's hoping. They were really funny when I brought them back into the yards tonight...Louka strolled on in- he knows the routine....then I had to drive Arani and Oscar in - took a little while as they wanted to go the same old way they have been forever- so I had to convince them it was a GREAT IDEA to go in through the narrow gateway at the other end. Arani wasn't going to have a bar of it. So in the end I walked beside Oscar and he just strolled in- then Arani did a few loops of the paddock and decided he just maybe able to as well..He snorted and hissed and carried on, no pressure Arani- then once he felt comfortable with the idea he quietly went on in too.....This was a biggey for me- getting the 3 of them in from a huge paddock into a narrow little gateway without putting too much pressure on them, but all in all I was very pleased with our efforts and all was quiet on the western front. They settled in to the yards again for the night as they usually do. Once they have got used to coming into the yards this end I'll give them the choice - the narrow gateway will be left open for them to come and go as they please....I did that from the other paddock and they came in usually at nighttime through their own choice.
