On a sunny Sunday afternoon in June, a very stressed out Lady showed up at Safe Haven with 2 of her horses in her trailer. She told Linda that she could Not Feed them anymore & could Not take them home as she would then herself be homeless! Linda R. called me out to the ranch, as she wanted another Board Member's opinion & etc... So here is the first we see of Zorida! She is a 30 year old Andalusian mare, & is a gray. Now you can see the first we saw of Penny, a 21 year old Arabian mare, she is a bay.
Zorida is out of the trailer. Poor Baby Girl! She just looks miserable & down & out!
This pic is a better one of her body condition, not very good!
Just HATE seeing all those bones & ribs!
Penny is in the same emaciated state as Zorida, w/ all her bones showing too!
She's pretty shiny looking in this pic, but she really needs a bath!
First things first & the top priority here was FOOD! Penny says Yum!
Zorida dove right into her food bucket too! If you look close on her left back leg, she has a brand & it s a circle w/ an A in it. I'm told that is the official Andalusian brand, but I haven't verified that yet.
Bonnie arrived at Safe Haven about an hour or so after & since they were done eating, it is off for a bath!
Zorida wasn't too sure about the cows that are right in the next pen, but she got over it! Bonnie sent me to go get Penny for a bath too!
Penny is just a sweetheart! When I showed her the halter she put her head right in it!!! Now Zorida is a little more standoffish, but I'm sure the old girl will be a lot better as she builds her weight back on, & her anxiety will wither, with the steady meals served to her at Safe Haven! I'll be posting their pictures again as it has been almost a month since they arrived! I, Linda C. do Apologize to All, for the lack of blogs here lately! & Thank You All for your Patience! Bye for now, Linda C.
