I started the blog pretty much for my own benefit, as a journal. This spring I will start bringing him to some of our Mounted Patrol practices. Although he is nowhere near ready for actual patrol work, he can "pretend" at our practice sessions.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983064391922254839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548294511859333841.post-56190694083411230662009-04-30T19:14:00.000-05:002009-04-30T19:14:00.000-05:00Isn't it amazing what tincture of time, plenty of ...Isn't it amazing what tincture of time, plenty of TLC, and lots of groceries will do. I commented on your last entry on how fantastic Scotty looked--and compared to today's pictures, well, it doesn't even look like the same horse!<br /><br />Scotty is a lucky LUCKY boy, and I'm thinking he knows it. You are going to have a best friend forever with that guy, I bet.<br /><br />I adopted a rescue for my horse a year ago this coming Saturday. He has gotten so much calmer and confident because he too has adequate groceries, a pleasant and safe place to "live," and a nice friend right next door. It has been an amazing journey for us both, though his body condition was nowhere near Scotty's at rescue time, and his major issue was one of abandonment.<br /><br />He had lived in the same barn for most of his life (he's about 20 years old) and his owner died and for 18 months he was fed, vetted, hoof-trimmed and "dentaled."<br /><br />It has been a wonderful journey, however, because he's so much happier. And I'm sure you've found the same to be true of Scotty.<br /><br />Keep up the good work and keep blogging. I check every day ;o)TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.com
