helping a horse
We bought a new horse. We have one already, and she is a dream. Just a good gal. I ride her now. But we were looking for a new one for my daughter to ride with me.
After looking and looking, we found this poor guy. He was like a walking skeleton.They say he is about 20, but, we are not sure he is that old. No matter. The people that had him were drug addicts. My daughter's 4-H leader had saved him. When I asked her if she knew anyone that wanted to sell a horse she told us about these two she bought. We went and looked at them and just fell in love with Charlie. My daughter rode him for a few minutes and he will be the perfect addition to our family. She changed his name to Bonzi, and he has already put on weight after only a week. We decided that he won't be ridden for a few months. Going to give him a chance to really feel better. We take them to the arena and turn them loose and he is now running for short bursts with our other horse. I have a great feeling about this guy. We will keep pounding the extra senior feed and rice bran to him along with hay and barley. He has a good home now. God bless, Laury
Probably this horse will be priceless to your family, just be careful about pouring all that grain into him , laminitis etc. besides underweight horses that are grained that heavily tend to colic. Not being preachy and I am sure you know, I am sure glad he landed where he did......come to the mountains and ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
