Dee's Mare: MV High Fashion



The Argo mare is settling in very well next door - happier now that Red is over there, but still pacing from time to time and is creating a rut in the paddock from her route. She misses her little stud colt deperately, and her bag of milk is full to overflowing, poor thing. She needs meat on her bones - but she is enjoying as much designer hay as she will eat, and likes the beet pulp. I am choosing not to count her ribs: it would just be too easy. She is a kind mare - with a fresh, young eye; nice big feet and good, strong legs. She responds well to affection. One could get quite attached. She's ready for her next breeding!

This morning, she was even calmer. She ate most of the three flakes of Colorado Mix hay we put out for her, and she is enjoying her boy toy over the fence. I'm hoping we can increase her weight before we take her to California next Wednesday.
