My mare Babee has been apart of my life for a very long time, well I am introducing my new horse Max to her and Beauty a mare she has been pastured with up at my Grandfathers farm, well I am moving her and Beauty home and Max is gona be introduced to them. So two mares and a gelding how should I let them get used to each other let them run around the pasture? Max is new so I dont know how he will adjust to a new home and new horses, Hes been pasture with mares and geldings so it wont be new to him.
My two mares are used to each other and Babee can adjust pretty well to boy horses if ya know what I mean :)
 
Put the two mares in a paddock next to Max so they can sniff noses and get to know each other that way first. (This is assuming everyone's been quarantined first.) Expect a lot of squealing, striking, pinned ears, and fake biting for about 4 days. Maybe even spinning and kicking. Expect the two mares to gang up on poor Max.

Once they settle down you can put one mare in with Max and wait till the squealing subsides. Then put the other mare in. Everything should be fine after that.
