The mares are doing very well! They are gaining weight well, and look like different horses!
Things we've done to them in the past couple of weeks:
- Rescued April 29th (corrected from May 6th... where the heck did I get that from?)
- Intake forms (cataloged hip numbers, pics from all angles)
- Dewormed
- Full vetting (exam, vaccs, Coggins, teeth checked)
- Hooves trimmed (see Polish Arabian Mares, Part II)
- Fully groomed several times a week (especially working with the younger ones' feet)
I took photos over the weekend so I can show you how much weight these girls are putting on! It's pretty easy to tell the difference between the Before and Now shots; just in case you'd like a hint, the ones on top for each horse are the Before pics.
*As you look at the pics, keep in mind they were not fully shed out when they arrived, so they were actually more thin than they looked!*

It just goes to show they must have had NO food whatsoever. They aren't getting anything that special- 24/7 on pasture and 3 quarts of Senior feed once a day. A couple will be ready soon to have their grain ration reduced!
