New Turnout Buddy!

I wish I had my camera yesterday because Tally got turned out in the big paddock with a new friend!
She just seemed so happy to be outside in the sunny weather-- especially because the day before was freezing cold. I know I've mentioned before that she was a little nervous and often paced the fence when she was out alone, so I knew I'd have to find her a turnout buddy.
Well, I think we found the perfect companion...a very sweet (but occasionally firm) chestnut quarter horse mare named Lady.
Tally was so cute when we first put her out with Lady because she was prancing around and bucking and kicking up her heels. Once she settled down, they both started grazing peacefully and the rest is history.
I only heard one squeal during the two hours that I stood out there watching them. Not too bad for two mares!
Next time I'll need to bring my camera because they are just too sweet together.
Tally is really enjoying her time off-- lots of rolling in the dirt, grazing and peppermints. As one of the ladies at the barn told me just the other night, "that's going to be one spoiled horse." :)
