Smallest & tallest, oldest and youngest, best friends.
Our newest herd member, Fly Away, immediately bonded with the lowest member of our herd, Maya. They are connected at the hip, each gets worried if they lose sight of the other. Maya acts like Fly Away is her long-lost foal, Fly is just glad to have a friend. Maya has been protecting Fly from the other horses, squealing at them and putting herself between the others and Fly, defending her friend when she never stood up for herself. The two of them share hay piles and even their grain, if allowed. They scratch each other's necks and tails, though Maya can barely reach! I'm so glad this sweet, older mare finally has an ally and best bud.
