Didn't think we made this much progress, but we did!
I’m not an equestrian by any means, but it’s been nice to see your positive impact on a living creature. Good job!

Thank you!
Can you describe the progress?
She's gained weight and a little muscle and her coat, mane, and feet are in much better condition.
Keep up the good work!
Yay! I love Sandy content 🙂
Sandy updates never fail to spark joy. :)
Ahhh, this is why I come to lemmy!
I'm glad! Lemmy is great!
4 legs in both pics.
Hell yeah
It's awesome to see Sandy thriving! Keep up the good work. ^_^
It is awesome! She's such a good girl and loving life.
I'm starting her on an additional supplement that is for weight maintenance/gain. Hoping she can get a few more pounds on before the cold really sets in or can at least maintain her current weight.
She looks so good! Question: the difference in her coat color between the pictures, is that bc her coat is thicker now bc she’s healthier? Or is it a seasonal change, ie: winter coat being whiter? Thanks for everything you do for her and thanks for educating us about our favorite equine!
It's totally the lighting difference in the two pics making the color seem different. She is actually getting a pretty good amount of fuzz on her for winter now that she's outside so much. I also do minimal brushing this time of year because I don't want to accidentally thin out the fuzz that's coming in. Last year she barely got any extra fur because she wasn't outside long enough for her body to kick into winter coat mode. She was very unhealthy last winter. I'm also starting her on additional supplement that'll help put some extra weight on her. I'd rather her be chubby going into winter, especially because I've heard this winter is supposed to be brutal in my area.
I'm so happy to share her with y'all and answer your questions! Horses are my passion and Sandy is one of the best things in my life (she's tied with my dogs).
Doing the lords work!
I try my best to do right by my critters.
Yay, you go Sandy! And you go, Launches!
I was trying to figure out what this meme meant for awhile. Lol. Great job and good luck!
