Finally Ricky is all rehabilitated from his laminitis, and he has such small and fine hooves now. It has taken about a year so it feel just great both for him and me. His little shelter has been ready for about 2 month so now he walks on one side of the paddock and Alba on the other. Once in a while I open up the fence between and let them be together every day. This has turned out to be a great alternative. He can eat the hay he need and eat straw in between, and Alba have free acsess to her hay on the other side of feeder.
And she has her shelter and Ricky have his, nice and comfy. And in the summer he will go on his side and I open up to the summer pastuer on alba´s side. and once a day I close it so they can be together.
And the great thing is that the horses feel good about it, no hard feeling because they can´t be together 24/7.
It was this or sell the little bugger, and that wasn´t an option. So all turned out great after many long thinking days.
