Meet Pearl, New Horse

[Rammy]

She looks great. Makes me want to go get one from the kill pen and save its life. Need to get a trailer.

What an improvement! She's already lost that skeletal look. Here on the the Thoroughbred farm we would start some hand walking to gradually build up some muscle and condition.

My round pen is in the 2 1/2 acres that I have my other 3 horses in.... can't take her there. I moved it several months ago. Oops. @robhuncor you are right, I can take her for walks. I have a lunge line somewhere..... LOL

She finally got annoyed when Trip went up behind her to sniff her back legs. Pearl laid her ears back , began a squeal and was raising her back leg.

Can't blame her for not wanting a nose up her butt Of course Trip was just learning the scent of one of his new charges.

She is looking really nice with a little more flesh on her. She listens to you well, that is great!

I know right! My barn does that so why not!

Reason I havent is because my next door goobermooch neighbor shot at my other horse with a soft air pellet gun so much she didnt want to come out of her stall. She was seriously traumatized by it. You clanged the handle of a bucket accidently and she would jump out of her skin. I cant put another horse thru that. I miss having a horse.

If you have a round pen that has a tallish fence try free lunging. It is nice as the horse is able to learn commands like walk, trot, canter, woah, AH AH AH, etc. All you need is pretty much a round pen, and a lunge whip. At my barn, who rescues horses, they will use that and will also help exercise cooped up horses and ones who aren't sound. It is such a good exercise for the horse.

Yell at them and put up a wall/fence nest to them
