I have just spent ages looking at the first two pictures, trying to find the nicest way of saying the only difference is the ears are further back on the second one. I scrolled down to do my reply and found two other pictures of a very happy looking horse,
so.............
WOW what a difference
whats the story ???

OK! Firstly, thank you for the comments, though I think it does help that the second lot of pic's were taken outside.
She was bought (not by me) in the spring along with her half sister, another yearling. The other one was brought in to be prepared for showing but this one was turned out with the mares on very poor pasture and left to get on with it apart from being fed. I first saw her about end May and she did look a sorry sight; every vertebrae was showing (SN will back me up on that!) with very hollow quarters either side of her spine. If I had seen her somewhere else I would have said she was a reporting case; I wanted to take her home and cuddle her and make her better! She (and all the others) arrived here 12th June and I've been doing her as mine ever since as I plan to buy her - OH permitting!! It'll still be a long haul getting her right but I think she's going in the right direction now.
She's full thoroughbred although only on the NTR; her dam is the daughter of Ask For Mary who went to the Olympics at Atlanta as team reserve I believe so hopefully it'll be in the genes! She moves like a dream although she's obviously very gangly at the moment, has a lovely temperment and comes racing across the field when you go to see them - you can't escape her, she has eyes in the back of her head!
Would be very interested in what price you would put on her head too if any of you can oblige please, pretty please!

Thank you, that's kind.
I love her to bits, she's such a lovely person to deal with; has taken to rugs (when we had that awful wet weather she had to have something to give her protection, she didn't have any spare flesh on her) was brilliant for the farrier, never murmured for her first flu jab, and learnt to lead very quickly; she's just a doll! Her frame has altered so much, she's much deeper than she first was and has now got a shape to her neck, it was completely straight before and she's grown nearly a hand from when she came, she's now about 15.1., I expect her to make over 16 hands easily.
I'm raiding all my money boxes, building societies and saving the housekeeping by going to Lidl instead of Tesco, all to scrape enough together; I'm pretty sure OH will cough up a bit too at the end (keeping everything crossed that he does!)

You've done a good job on geting her back to how she should be but as you said
[ QUOTE ]
If I had seen her somewhere else I would have said she was a reporting case;
[/ QUOTE ] I don't care where she was, it was a disgrace what the owner allowed to happen to her, it doesn't matter where a hores is, if it's a reportable case then it's a reportable case.

You know my thoughts on this one!! I think she's a super filly in the making and I have always been disgusted at the state she was in when I first saw her, well before she arrived at yours! Even if that was not a certain person's fault, steps should have been made to rectify the situation, not just leave out in a bare field with some hay. That filly is lucky to have found you!!

She looks great, you've sterling work to get her looking so well. What are your long-term plans for her? To sell her on? Is she a Tiger baby?
Maesfen
Extremely Old Nag!
Thanks N!
Yes, she will be for sale once I've got her right, hopefully to a decent competitive home, I think she's got the makings of being a good horse. Another yes, she's a Tiger baby and even being biased, I prefer her to the others that are here with perhaps, the exception of the foal out of the coloured mare! Well done on going so well even if not what they liked, at Burghley BTW, meant to post and forgot, sorry!
