Lacy, my underweight horse, is doing great! She's put on at least 50-75 lbs or so, and her energy level is MUCH better! When we first got her she hardly felt like running very much (and of course Pistol was going "LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!), now she can keep up with him easy, and she's still not an unruly ride at all!
I'm beginning to think the people at these horse sales don't know how to feed their horses! Lacy was 150 lbs underweight, and Sundance, the gelding we got yesterday, is in awful shape! It's like he used to be a very fit, muscular shape, and then someone just let his body waste away. His muscles have kinda gone to goo, just like you can look at some people and tell they USED to be built, and he's so ribby. Don't worry, though. We'll get him back in shape, and hopefully soon since winter's coming! Should I get him a blanket?
Thanks a milion!
Kim
