She has gained weight and is looking much better. She also has learned her manners at feeding time and backs up with a touch on her chest and now stands and waits until I step sideways for her to go eat. We're talking about saddling her up next week and me riding her, just a little.

I would try and put a saddle pad and saddle on her first to see how she reacts since I don't want to see ending up in the ER Bay!

Don't worry, I won't be stupid. I like me and I like me better without broken bones. It will be a steady process.

Pearl is so pampered. I feed her twice a day. In addition to her pellets, she gets a cup of BOSS on top of the pellets. I smash alfalfa cubes with a hammer and flake them apart so they will absorb water better and soften up. I add beet shreds to the alfalfa and soak them while I feed the sheep and chickens. And she gets all the hay she wants.
