What a lovely descriptive post about life among horses. I was fascinated by your description of the terrain and their behaviour. I could almost see it and felt I was there. Lovely! 🙏

That sounds like a perfect plan. I'll be there! 👍🐎
Re educating a horse can be the most rewarding thing in the world, especially when bringing one from an artificial life such as the track to a more natural life.
You see them scared stiff of anything new, even another animal, to slowly relaxing as they come to understand that the new life is the proper one for them; although there will be shenanigans until they get used to the new sights, sounds and smells.
