She’s the fuzziest!

Aw thank you! She really does love this new place. She can be a horse again and it’s great.

I’ve never heard of that lol. I also only gave her one small apple lol

So her horse cookies are just treats from a bag I got at tractor supply. I think they have oats, mollasas, apple, and some other stuff. They taste like nothing to me (yes I tried one out of curiosity lol)

Sandy has gone from 775 to 820 in 2 months! That doesn’t seem like much, esp for a horse, but it’s a big deal for her. She was stuck at 775 for ages. I think starting her on an additional caloric supplement was a great call.

She’s honestly doing so much better than I expected her to be. I’m so happy with how thick her winter coat is and the weight gain. I’m hoping that I can maintain this weight for the winter. I wanted her to be like 850 going into winter, but I knew that wasn’t gonna happen lol.

Me too. It’s a real bop

The weight tape is a measuring tape that you wrap around her abdomen from the withers to over her heart. Whatever number lines up with the little starting arrow on the tape indicates an estimate of her weight. It isn’t super exact, but is the most readily available method for weight tracking.

Honestly, all kinds. I played The Tardigrade Song on repeat yesterday so I could learn the lyrics.

Right?? She honestly feels like one of those fuzzy, super plush blankets.

Lmao nah. Feds are in on it

Thank you. She was a good comfort, as always.

My dogs have been wonderful comforts, but sometimes Sandy hugs are also needed lol. I’d hug my cats, but they’re not too keen on attention unless it’s on their terms

100000%

It’s supposed to be pretty chilly all week, so I showed up right after her breakfast to blanket her before she went out to pasture lol

She’s broken crossties before. When she had thrush in her hooves, she broke out of some when I was trying to treat the infection. She is old, but does NOT act like it. She’s strong physically and in her will lol. It’s typical of her breed, especially Arabian mares. They’re my fave breed because they’re a challenge at times, but also so smart and bond with people more than other breeds.

Oh hell no. If she wanted out, she’d break them. She stands still in the crossties because she loves the attention I give her.

Thank you. And it was pneumonia. It sucked but the meds I’m on for it are helping.

As for Sandy’s blanket, it’s the most fashionable one I’ve seen so far at the barn. Rainbow is totally ber color

I’ll get the bbq ready

Thank you! And yes! I had a few barn cats hanging out with and helping me. It was nice. Weather wasn’t bad and it was quiet.

I call that barn cat Orion. Idk what his name actually is. I have names for almost all of the animals lol. Most are 1000000% incorrect.
