Emaciated Mare, Delta Dawn, 2nd Weigh-In!!!!

Delta Dawn!! Emaciated Mare! brought to Safe Haven Horse Rescue on Sept. 16, '09, has a weigh in on Oct. 14, '09!!! Delta Dawn loves to roam around 'the breeze way' & love, love, loves all the
attention she gets from the volunteers & the visitors!!! Delta Dawn is getting 'nice' scratches & pets from Chris, & then she gets 'weighed' by Linda Richards, with some help from dedicated volunteer, Debbie.

The weight tape shows that Delta Dawn is now up to 835 pounds!!!! that's along way from the 700 she came in as!!! You can see Delta Dawn's right side of her body as it is now, & then a pic of her body on 9/17/09. She still has a ways to go but, by golly she's working on it! The "tea cup syndrome" is starting to go away.

She looks soooooooo.much better!!!

Another comparison of Delta Dawn's.............'so far'... pics! The progress of this beautiful Mare is very evident in these pics..she now has; some...curves...instead points.........on her body! We still have a ways to go on this courageous "mare w/ a heart of a stallion" She is willing, & Safe Haven Horse Rescue is willing to help her along in her quest for health!

Delta Dawn has a mischievous side to her!!! Here's the fun we had with her on Sat. This is what happened; The 'breeze way' gate was open; Delta Dawn became focused on that fact; she carefully put one hoof in front of the other; when she was clear of the gate; she made BEELINE for the barn! Went straight to the feed barrel w/ the main mush ingredient & went to work trying to open it!!! she was a rockin' & a rollin' that barrel & would succeeded in opening it, if Linda R. would not have stepped in!!!!





Debbie was watching her & was very impressed with the strength she showed trying to get the lid off the alfalfa pellet barrel!! Linda R. shooed her away. & in her haste, she knocked over the trash can, trotted a few more steps, & then turned around to say; "Did I do that?"

Delta Dawn is so funny! & smart.....no one has ever showed her which barrel has her main mush ingredient in it.........but she must have been keeping mental notes as she watches us fix every body's mush each day..........as she went right to that barrel, ignoring all the other goodies the barn has to offer!!!




We at, Safe Haven Horse Rescue, would like to say; Thank You! to all the wonderful people who have helped us to take care of Delta Dawn. We muchly appreciate the support you have sent to Safe Haven & to Delta Dawn!! YOU ALL ROCK!!!

Bye for now,

Linda C.
