Rowan has been a star this week. I have had to take a bit of time off from the yard having got flu i then also managed to get an eye infection too which had the result of me not being able to drive and with the yard a good 15 miles away my good mate took charge for a few days in my absence. I was a bit worried about how Rowan would be as he has not really had anyone else going in and out of his stable and whilst Jane is more than capable of looking after him he has been a little nervous of her as she can be quite loud. He has however coped really well and is now far more confident with her although he still runs to his 'safe' corner each time she enters his stable. 

He also now has a new stable as his was needed so I could bring Oska in for the night. He followed me (and his feed bucket) from one stable to the other without a problem and quickly settled in his new box. If the weather improves a little we may let him out next week into the paddock behind the stable block probably with the company of Hector as the two of them seem to be getting along very well at the moment. Hopefully will have a headcollar on him really soon too. I took his off the other day without a problem and he almost certainly would have had it back on the next day had I not become ill.
