Introducing my gypsy vanner to my Haflinger AFTER being neigbours for A MONTH-JUMPS OUT THE PASTURE!

My gypsy vanner is introduced to my haflinger a month after getting to know each other over a fence. My haflinger chases my gypsy vanner and he jumps over the fence!!! Thankfully they figured it out and are best pasture buddies now.

Owner: “Turn, turn, TURN, TURN!!!!”
Stormy: “bitch I’m getting tf outta here and away from that psycho”

Stormy is like, “Ya know.. I’ve had enough of this BS I’m outta here!” _flies away_

[rhemyella]

Well I guess Stormy will make a great showjumper 🤣

The horses had a rocky start, until Stormy clean jumped the fence and impressed Jester so much, they had a good laugh about it later, and became friends. 😂

Who says Gypsies don't jump. Stormy has an excellent future as a jumper if you compete. Beautiful horses. We have a few gypsies as well. They are the sweetest breed.

I used to have an Arabian who would adopt any of our orphan foals or special needs rescues, no introduction needed, he just knew they were in need and kept careful watch on them. But God forbid you put in *any* adult, sound horse with him, he would chase it down relentlessly like this. They just have their strong opinions! XD

It’s so hard trying to introduce horses as they are so protective of their own groups. Lovely bunch!!

[ohlottie]

I’m so glad he cleared that fence jump safely...and that they’re buddies now. 😊

[wordzmyth]

Amazing how horses can actually jump from a standstill when they need to

[NYLADY]

Stormy: "Screw this, I'm going back to my own pasture!" 😄

[grejaaa]

The white pony is just chilling, eating their grass, not a frick given

What I found works really well is to get them adjusted to each other in adjoining pastures, then open the gate and leave the gate open so that they can move freely back-and-forth in their territories. This always seems to help join herds without nearly as much territorial bickering.

She said "sike you thought I was gon stay in here with dis rude fool. You are incorrect"

[OzarkRose]

That halflinger is fast. So is the Vanner. Especially for the way they are built!

[souldimitriou]

Good mover, for sure!
The fact she slowed downed too before jumping . Made it look easy, Fantastic!

[amberlilly]

That horse that cleared the fence was amazing !! He jumped it and did it without even getting a running start, yes he was running, but he did the jump flatfooted, without hesitation, just amazing !

See what happens when you have a 90 degree corner in the pasture. Take away that corner when introducing new horses. I use a jumping log and place it on the rails in the corner. Xmas tree, some brush, whatever results in smoothing out that corner. That allows a lower horse to not get trapped in the corner.

The release of your breath as soon as you realize he’s gonna jump and not take out the fence is just… well same haha 😂

Reminded me of a horse we had. We bought her on her disposition and ease of riding. My two kids were using her for 4H. We took her to a local game show and my 7 year old son took her around the ring for the can race. That is when we found out she was previously a jumper. When it became clear she was out of control, my 6"1" husband stood in front of the fence waving his arms to slow her or stop her. Nope, over him and the fence. My son was still holding the cane and seated on the horse when he got her under control. Everyone was so shocked, especially me. No one was hurt and my son always had a really good seat and no fear riding horses. She was a sweet mare but do not let her open up. Great for a walk trot horse because she did have a sweet gait.
