She's quite content

2 weeks in and Kaylee is quite content.
She has truly settled in and is doing GREAT!

She is putting on weight and muscle,
The running room has done wonders for her.

Kaylee enjoys showing off in the outdoor.

She can really build up a head of steam.

Kaylee enjoys her daily runs in the outdoor ring.
She can show off for the boys.



I think she has even grown a few inches taller.

Looking goofy in a fly mask.
Even though she does look silly with the black flies
being out the mask is a needed.

She's a happy little filly in her new home.

Kaylee has settled in quite nicely into her new surroundings.
She enjoys running in the pastures and outdoor ring.
I can actually see in her eyes that she is relaxed and confident.
 
A beautiful sunny day to frolic in the field

I haven't seen her strut like this in quite some time!

She has a blast running and kicking and bucking
every time she is in the outdoor ring.



But when on the lead she is still a
respectful little horse.

A new chapter in a new location

A huge milestone today!
 
With Kaylee recently turning 1 and the belly still not 100%,
Linda and I made a decision to move Kaylee to a small barn in Sutton. It was not a decision made easily 
as we have made great friends and enjoyed our time at CMS and LHER. 
We would like to thank all of you who came by to wish us luck and see us off.
 Today was not goodbye! 
Linda and I still will be involved with LHER. We will
be doing a foal feeding shift and I will still be there for the building projects.
This move was made in the best interest of Kaylee. 
The new location is a private home barn owned by
one of Linda's friends who is very passionate about horses and is very 
interested in helping us with Kaylee's development and well being.
Kaylee is one of four horses and has her own stall and for the time being a paddock to herself.
We are continuing to keep her on a strict Forage diet that seems to be 
helping  to keep the belly on the road to recovery. As she progresses we will
work on introducing her to grasses slowly with the hopes of someday
allowing her to graze in a large paddock as a horse is meant to do.
