Delta Dawn..what's that 902lbs...you've put on!!!!!!

December 18, 2009, was such a nice day, that Delta Dawn had her blanket off....So we weight taped her..........& the results were........... 902 lbs!!!!!......... Whooo Hooo! That is a weight gain of 67lbs since Nov! Delta Dawn is such a character! She is always alert & checking out what's going on!!The expressions she gets on her 'most beauteous face' is amazing!!!! She's looking at Linda & saying....." I know everyone is interested in my progress BUT cheeze! a girl's weight is kinda PRIVATE ya know!"

So she let us do the weight tape & stood very still. The results were 902 lbs! A total weight gain of 202lbs! since she was brought to Safe Haven Horse Rescue in Sept of '09!!! AWESOME!

Dang! here's the same pic!!! "/................like the scarecrow says,,,"if I only had a brain"!!!!

Delta Dawn's neck is now starting to fill in & her face has gained some weight too! The best part is; she is not as 'pointy' on the hips & butt as she was when we first met her!!!!!!

Delta Dawn is having a problem w/ her left back leg, Linda R. went Cottonwood Vet Clinic on Friday & talked w/ Dr. Gray about the leg. He believes that there is a good possibility that the X-rays will show on old untreated injury...that just might be 'fixable' w/ surgery! Dr. Gray has just returned from a conference, all about fetlocks!!!! Talk about timing!!!!!!
These pics are not the best......it was late afternoon....so the light wasn't the best....but you can kinda see the problem.
Here's the right side of Delta Dawn's body! She is losing that dreaded 'tea cup' syndrome! YEAH!!! Good shot of her 'not so bony' hip bone too.
BUTT SHOT!!!!! Can you see that the dip at the top is not so large now?
I like this pic the best of her body shot, as it shows how nicely she is coming along!

So after all the weight taping and the checking out of her leg........it was time for some fun w/ Linda & Drifter, our girl decided!!!! So Linda got 'sandwiched' in between horse heads as they said 'hello' to each other!!! As you can see Drifter has a had a nice roll in the MUD!!!

After a bit of 'sharing' nose breath w/ Delta Dawn........Drifter turned to me as if to say....Here's looking at you kid!!!! Or,,,all righty then...enough with the camera!!!!

Look at those awesome noses! Aren't they just the cutest!!!!! Safe Haven Horse Rescue is such a wonderful place! The work is hard & is never ending!, but the REWARDS are LARGE! Wish....... everyone could come out to Safe Haven & enjoy the horses! Today is Saturday & always a big day at Safe Haven Horse Rescue...so load up the kids, & the grandparents, & come on out & brush a horse!!!

Hope to see you soon!

Bye for now,

Linda C.
