Enjoying the Sun

Faith is outside today, no blanket or wraps, enjoying the warm spring sun! It is a whopping 50 degrees here, and the horses are in full shed-mode! (It is so "warm" here that Faith was actually sweating a tiny bit under her blanket.) She is shedding quite well; you can grab clumps off of her at a time. Her summer coat is coming through nicely and it's shiny and healthy!




I will be gone until Monday evening, and depending on how late I get back here, I will try to post an update on how she's doing. Dan is staying home to keep an eye on her, so she is in really good hands and will have plenty of supervision. I should know soon the results of her DNA test - keep your fingers crossed that it's the same mare! I would just love to find out Faith's past!


I'm heading down now to give her one last grooming and kiss on the nose before I leave. Yes, I'm in clean non-barn clothes now, but a little horse hair never hurt anyone, right?! ;-)

  2. WOW! She looks great! You can see her putting on the weight over those barely visible ribs.

  3. Wow, she looks great! That picture makes it look like her hind quarters are really starting to fill in, but maybe I'm being deceived by the shiny coat. How much weight has she gained at this point?

  10. Maybe the horse hair wouldn't hurt, but I am always right in the line of fire when it's time to have a good noseblow ;o) Never fails. I think it's written in the Horsie Manifesto: Blow Nose Toward Dressed Up Humans.

    Faith is looking just great! I bet you'll notice a difference in her when you get back after several days away. Hard to see little changes when we are with them daily.
