I have a 4 & a 3 that I have started to bond. It's going very well - that's the 7 I'm talking about. Flint never got back into the 3 (to make 4), I think he would be better in a pair - which means I will need another female - so will just let him pick one of my temporary ones! (Trying with Treacle this week).
I may end up keeping one or two of the babies (actually it's the mums I'm becoming attched to :roll: ), Gonna try not to keep them all though. i've got 12 permanents already & a holiday planned in September.....
It's fine in summer. My horse is out full-time in the field, my work eases up a bit, I've reduced my part-time job hours...loads of free time. It's the winter when it'll hit me....
