Don't laugh!
She is fat. I wasn't paying attention. But Rich used to say that Siera could gain weight
on
Hay Dust.
A couple of years of being idle haven't done her any favors. The nice lush grass in the pastures didn't help her either. She will be going to have to live in a dry lot. A grazing muzzle wouldn't work as she rubs her head against trees and walks through brush. I'd hate for her to get caught on something.
Sure. I take good care of the land and we have an amazing spring with grass and weed growth. Now I have to limit one good grazer.
My hope is to help her recover and gain strength. Her last lameness this week only lasted 3 days. So maybe on top of being Fat, she is a Drama Queen. Or she was lame from a tiny bit of exercise.
There was the mention of possible beginning stages of laminitis but that is not a sure thing. We'll take all the precautions we can for her to live a good and health Senior Life [with exercise!!!].
We will see what happens.
To me she looks pretty ordinary but a but chunky over her tail head. The red heads seem to be in much better physical shape than her.
They are always on the move and doing things.
Chunky Monkey Siera [shhh, don't tell her that out loud]...
Maybe we need to go to the gym together.
The red headed girls below, Sunshine on the right.
It will be an adjustment for Sundance on the left to adjust to her sister leaving the farm for a while.
Oh to be in charge of these three goofs. They are pretty sweet animals and I really do enjoy them. Feet trimmed, manes trimmed, and pastures mowed. Huh.
Siera just walked across the pasture out front of here with her long gaited strides just to thumb her nose at me.
Life in the slow lane.
