Hi there SUGAR! Want some breakfast?

Sugar was warming up in the sunshine yesterday morning, & is waiting for his turn to be fed his breakfast! As you can see by his expression, he is quite attentive!

Chris serves up Sugar's 'magic mush' for him & he is soooo ready to eat!

Sugar says, I'll try that!

& with a mouthful of mush, he says that's YUMMY! Just love those mushy lips! Sugar finished his breakfast, so I took the opportunity to get a real close up of his body condition, as I think he's even in worse shape than the first pics we posted!

Boy Oh Boy, look at those withers! That is just awful!

Yup, the butt pretty much matches the withers! Awful darn flat! So, let's review the facts we have on Sugar; He was seized by the Butte County Animal Control on Nov. 23, 2010, Safe Haven Horse Rescue went down to Oroville to pick him up on Monday, Jan. 17, 2011, Sugar was weight taped upon arrival to Safe Haven, & he weighs 700 pounds, he desperately needs a bath,( that he will get as soon weather permits)  he LOVES his 'magic mush' & most important of all is; HE IS ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY! We will keep you all posted on the continuing saga of Sugar's recovery!
Bye for now,
Linda C.
