The arena is actually part of the pasture, so I'm hoping that they'll get acquainted this way. Tomorrow, after the shoes are off Ivory, I won't be quite so worried. Then, it'll just be hoof on hoof...not metal. I don't like that she's getting nicked up, but she DOES have room to stay away from Tucker if that's what it takes. I'm not sure what we'll do if Tucker stays overly aggressive with her, partly because they're NOT allowed to bicker and show herd behavior when we're with them. I think, if he's still too aggressive tomorrow, we'll switch them. Ivory out with the other horses and Tucker in the arena overnight.
