Meet Pearl, New Horse

[Baymule]

Pearl’s morning report. Not a blade of hay left. We gave her more hay and 3 cups of Feed. She licked it all up, chewed with lips closed, not dropping any pellets. Several poop piles, good, insides are in working order.

All good so far! Let's hope it continues so! That's gotta be one happy horse.

Does anyone else even approach a horse person's obsession with poop?!

I still remember checking the ground in the pen of a horrifyingly skinny horse we had come in a few years back. For the first couple of days, his poop looked like mud; I have no idea what he'd been eating. Seeing it become fibrous and formed was a huge relief!

I had a breakthrough with Pearl. I found her scratchy spot, where the bottom of her neck joins her chest. I started scratching and she stopped eating hay, even stopped chewing the mouthful she had. I walked back a few steps and she followed, wanting more. I scratched some more, stopped and she went back to her hay. I went out the gate and she came to me, so I went back in and gave her more scratches.

Training note; always leave on a positive. Then their last memory of you is that it was pleasant. Walk away leaving them wanting more, don't keep on until you become annoying.

Congratulations on the new horse. She looks like she's happy with her new home and family.

I gave her 4 cups of feed this morning and 5 cups of feed this evening. Her flanks are still sunk in, but looking a little smoother. She is hungry! We keep hay in front of her, she is already looking better. I'm not doing much with her yet, I just want her to get enough to eat and settle in a little bit.
