- Update
5/30/00 - This horse is fascinating. I haven't done
much with him.
Just talk and feed. His physical condition changes by the
day. In the first
24 hours the drawn look began to disappear. Now the hip
area, although the
bones are still prominent, is filling out tremendously.
He has powerful looking
hindquarters. He is more friendly and personable everyday
and wants very much
to get into a pasture with other horses but I feel he needs
to stay in his paddock
a little longer. He can talk to them over the fence a little
while longer!
Updated
6/15/00 - Another update. Smokey has been turned out with
some other horses (4) just as he wanted. He galloped out to
see them (approximately 30 acres in this pasture), looked around
and then came right back! The mares came to water and
went numerous times and Smokey stayed. Can it be he has never
been in a large pasture? Poor thing was certainly insecure about
the whole thing. Want's to stay near the barn (like a horse
running back into a burning barn, I guess). Anyway it has been
several days now and, while I would bring him in for feeding
to make sure he got his fair share, out he would go afterwards.
He has finally learned that there are wonderful things out there
to eat and look at. Round ring/riding wise nothing has been
done till I finish classes but he is adjusting quite well.
