The Changes

First things first- Mare arrived home today!
Secondly- Mare has been named Story.


Story was a completely different horse today when we picked her up, she was running in her field, tolerant of shipping boots and a head bumper, she was excited to see us and was more than happy to just hop on the trailer! She spent about 30 minutes in the barn once we got her home so everyone could hang out with her and we could take off all of her gear. She pinned her ears at the odd person but nothing like 2 days ago when I met her.


We are starting her on an "emergency diet". It will consist of; soaked beet pulp (NO molasses), ground flax, vitamin E, iodized salt and a mixture of minerals. Everything needs to be low in sugar, yet still allow her to get all her essential horsie needs! Jenny, her farrier, will be coming for a visit soon so I will update with pictures and a prognosis of her feet.
