Adventures with D

Adventures with D

as most of you guys know i have jsut acquired a new horse, im hopin this one will keep me a little less suicidal and less urges to self harm.

so lets have a thread about D or as @Former-Member one calls her Delicious

so first up let me give you a run down of D

she is 8 years old and is 16 hand high. she is bay in colour with a white marking on her leg and face.

D hasnt had a stable home for a very long time and her previous owners decided Amercia was more important to them then their own horse so they up and left her her in Australia, left to fend for herself in the paddock.

her feet are terrible, she malnourished, her teeth i question whether they ahve ever been floated and she hasnt been ridden that i know of and if she was she was broken in and then left.

so as you can see D hasnt had the best life or upbringing either so im hopin i can help her out.

first things first get her to gain some trust in me and start nourishing her with the feeds she needs, get her feet done and tetth floated as well

Re: Adventures with D

Sounds like a great couple of days with D. Sounds like she is really beginning to bond with you which is just great! 🙂 What kind of itch does she have? Is it like Queensland itch or more like rain scald?

Re: Adventures with D

Thanks @Queenie

Its not qld itch as its not contagious. I was told it was really bad rainscald but shes itching do im a actually treating her for both. Ivr got a wash thst treats it all and an oil/lotion that treats both as well as puts moisture bavk in the skin so that wont cause her to itch either. She will get a wash once a week depending on the weather and do it doesnt strip her coat od natural oils. The lotion will go on daily or every second day

That's great @outlander that D is following you around already. She obviously likes you.
Sounds like you'll be having a good relationship with her. So pleased for you.
Busy day for you.
You have something to be proud of, what you have achieved with D so far.
👍💜

Your lonely, like me, it's not just people that get lonely. Having someone visit especially just for Delicious, won't just make her day - I thin it'll make her life 🙂

Re: Adventures with D

Aww today D was soo cute. Ive been there since 9am- who said they werent staying there all day- hmmm that couldnt have been me 😉

So today i called her in and she came today. I fed her and took her for a walk just like a puppy. I put her back out but... this is thr cute part..... i had to walk along the fenceline to check on another horse in the next paddock over and she followed me the whole way and waited at the fence line. Then when i had to walk back she followed me all the way back. She watched me walk all the way diwn the driveway -prob 500 metres the whole drive way is about a kilometre so she could see me for most of it!
I had to walk the driveway there and back 4 times today

Re: Adventures with D

Aww that is just the cutest thing ever! I love horses, they are by far my favourite animal. She's really bonded with you @outlander. I can foresee a beautiful partnership in the future.
