No blankets off, no turnout. Ryan is terrified of the snow, too. I mean, he lived his entire life in a barn in Corona and that area is NOT known for its record snowfall.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, after about 10 days of struggling through the elements and all, I took the blanket off and by Golly, the hip bones aren't peaky and he's got a bit of "fat pad" on either side of his withers.<BR/><BR/>Woohoo!!<BR/><BR/>I would say Scotty's pictures are DRAMATIC! Three weeks or so and the butt pictures are like two different horses. Good work!!<BR/><BR/>(And yes, bubblewrap. I am working on bubblewrap outfits for horse AND rider. I'm sure the results will be moneymakers. Whether the people suit protects bones or not is immaterial. I know the suit would produce weightloss ;o)TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548294511859333841.post-43185199299475984972008-12-29T12:00:00.000-06:002008-12-29T12:00:00.000-06:00yay scotty!! i have to come out and see him soon!!...yay scotty!! i have to come out and see him soon!!horseys4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892409594070716115noreply@blogger.com
