HEY CHRISSYBZ! (We need some pony updates!)

Annamarie · 04-25-2008, 09:49 PM

How is that little filly of yours doing lately?

ChrissyBz · 04-25-2008, 10:28 PM

ROFLMAO.

Hey, she is doing really good.She tried to kick me the other day, so she's acting like a normal young'un.

Her belly has settled down and she's getting Hay, an hour ot two of grass a day, and 1/4 lb of sweet feed with 1/4 c of corn oil 2 x/day. No more colic, and she's gone bum up so she's growing.

Her feet look good, and the bald spots on her face are almost gone.

The oil is making her coat begin to shine and Her tail is has about 3/4" of growth where it was rubbed bare.

I'll try to take some pics tomorrow.

Annamarie · 04-26-2008, 03:19 PM

awesome!! hopefully she'll outgrow that kicking phase soon. I had a youngster that learned how to do it without giving any warning, GRRR! she got me good a few times.

ChrissyBz · 04-26-2008, 03:54 PM

LOL We must be connected on some plane of existence.

JUST got back from visiting with her and am uploading pics as I type.

I'll post them soon.

ChrissyBz · 04-26-2008, 04:13 PM

Ok, so here we go.

Her "paddock" she spends the night and a fair amount of the day here until I get the electric fence rigged to my satisfaction. I want THREE wires, to keep stray dogs out, as well as her in.

You can see here how she's gone bum up.

Regrowth on her tail.

You can see the belly's not hanging so deep.

ChrissyBz · 04-26-2008, 04:17 PM

Another couple body shots.

She has hair on her face now.

Inga · 04-26-2008, 04:21 PM

Chrissy she looks great. I wish i could smell her. LOL Horse people know what I mean. LOL She is a pretty little girl. She still has the "little" girl look Looking a lot nicer now though.

ChrissyBz · 04-26-2008, 04:21 PM

Thanks Inga, I'm happy with the way she's coming along as well. I think we have a lot to teach each other. She definitely is an enrichment to my life. She most definitely has a strong personality, and I like that.

I hope we can grow together.

ChrissyBz · 04-26-2008, 04:27 PM

And yes, I TOTALLY know what you mean about the smell. Ambrosia.

Even my house smells better. I've got 5 bales of hay in my living room.

(nowhere else to store it yet)

Renoman · 04-26-2008, 04:47 PM

Chrissy, looking at the before and after pics.. I'm amazed at the improvement Bree's made. She looks great, and apparently growing like a weed. Congrats on the good work.

The one thing I miss most about riding is being around the horses and getting my daily dose of their horsey goodness. I love the smell too.

digits mama · 04-26-2008, 04:55 PM

Chrissy! Great job you have done with her...Since she cant talk..I thank you for her

She is beautiful.

Rough_Collies2008 · 04-26-2008, 05:52 PM

Chrissy, you did a fantastic job with her! She looks beautiful, and looks 100 x better then when she first came. I am sure some of her 'attitude' is coming out because she feels so good(plus and negative, right

)!

Keep the updates coming!

I know what you mean. At the shelter I occasionally care for the rabbits and every time I open the hay barrels and get a big whiff it makes me crave the time I've spent around horses. I always remember my grandfather complaining about the smell when I cam home and me thinking "How can he not love that?"

She's coming along great, Chrissy! Definitely a cute little gal.

Oh make no mistake I was grinning from ear to ear, when she let fly. She was getting to close to my water pond, which has very steepsides, and I wanted her to move, and she didn't want to. So I had to push her a little. That really teed her off! You need energy to get pissy like that so It's all positive to me. Well, till she lands one anyway.

4dogs3cats · 04-26-2008, 10:04 PM

She looks amazing! I had been wondering about her too! Now she needs a friend

FilleBelle · 04-26-2008, 11:03 PM

Oh, Jen, you are so bad...tempting Chrissy like that!

oh jeez...you're killing me Inga. Now I can practically smell the old barn where I worked...mix of drying hay, sawdust, horse, and the universal livestock barn smell...

Puppy_love_122 · 04-27-2008, 12:39 AM

She looks amazing!
