She has shaggy winter hair now. Still skinny, she hit a plateau then started losing weight again. I wormed her 3 times, 10 days apart and started pouring feed to her. She has gained weight but still remains thin. I’ve never had a horse stay so skinny for so long. It is frustrating! Otherwise she is happy and healthy. I’ll try to get a picture of her this evening.

Does her teeth need floating ? Also, try some vitamin B12, and some wheat germ oil, and/or flax seed oil. I got these by the gallon from my feed store. I also fed high quality US %1 leafy 2nd cutting alfalfa hay to get horses ready for shows and get more dollars at sale time. As the old timer horsemen used to say .... "fat is a beautiful color " !

She looks much improved! Maybe she's just meant to be skinny? Heck I was skinny for most of my life. Weighed 95lbs when I got married at age 25. I'm 5' tall. Don't way that now though, haha

We had our granddaughters for the weekend. Pearl got some love from the youngest.

Then she took the two little girls for a ride. We went to the corner and back, about a mile. Pearl was a champion, she knew she had precious cargo aboard.

The ring tailed tooter (youngest) wanted to go fast. She asked if next time, would I get a faster horse.

Turns out that Pearl's affection for me didn't last long. She was in heat and sized me up as a possible Baby Daddy. Poor girl, she backed up to me, wringing her tail. I don't know what made her decide that I was a handsome hunk of a stallion. I had to break the news to her that THAT wasn't going to happen! As soon as she was out of heat, I was an annoyance again, who happens to bring her feed.
