Amazing Progress

We are now almost 2 months in and the growth and progress of Kaylee has been amazing. She seems to have doubled in size. The time and effort Linda and all the Lucky Horse volunteers have put in is really paying off, We can take Kaylee out on the lead for walks or to graze in the tall grass by the paddocks with little worry.

 

 

1 Month at the barn

It just a few days shy of our first month at Lucky Horse. It's amazing to see the progress of all the foals, they have grown so much. I can see the bond between Kaylee and Linda getting stronger with each passing day. Kaylee truly is a little sweetheart who can make you lose track of time while your in the barn or out in the paddock.

Moose and Mimosa had some special visitors today, Karen and Andy. They have since adopted both and they are now known as Duncan and Magnolia.

The Babies get a shelter

Today was a busy day at the barn, it was time for the babies to get an outdoor shelter. A place to get out of the sun and have a drink of water. 

 

Nothing fancy Just your basic three sided shelter with a tarp for the roof.

When the job was done the babies got to play, and what a time they had showing off for the crowd that had gathered.

It's Official

05/01/09 Linda officially adopts Kaylee, will life ever be the same? I must admit i'm being sucked in by this little pinto. I've never been a "horse person" but with every visit to the barn i'm beginning to see why Linda has always loved them.

Kaylee is extremely friendly and quickly becoming a hit with the kids who ride at the barn.

The first few weeks

She's so young, maybe 5 days old. She doesn't want to eat. Being an orphaned nurse mare foal she hasn't had the best start to life. Linda is already getting attached. Is this the right thing to do.

A new halter. You guessed it, there's no turning back. 

The adoption is in the cards.

The Gang

 Kaylee has not been alone in this adventure, she was accompanied by three other foals.

  

   First there is a little chestnut by the name of Wonder

   He has a thoroughbred look about him

Secondly there is the big lug Moose.
They say he is part draft.

And last but not least the little palomino Mimosa.
She is quite the cute little filly.

THE BEGINING

She arrived Easter morning, a small discarded and struggling but oh so cute Pinto. A by product of the nurse mare farms she would have died in the fields or been sold for slaughter had it not been for Linda's sponsorship and the caring of the newly formed "Lucky Horse Equine Rescue". I knew as soon as I saw her Linda would have to take her as her own.
