Coco elderly mare I bought from a dealer who was being sold on horsemart for £200

RE Coco, the elderly mare I picked up on Christmas Eve, being sold as a broodmare in foal for £200 etc...
Just to let you know if you're interested that she's doing well, and looks much better. Wish I could put some pics on to show how poor she looked when I got her home. (Vet gave her a score of 1) and how much happier she looks now. She is such a gentle thing and she has incredibly long ears which I'm hoping she'll grow back into when she's her proper weight!

It is very rewarding when they turn around. Just join something like photobucket, upload onto their then just copy the link onto here.

That's great news so nice to hear how she's doing, would be good to see pics though if you manage to upload them

I'm really pleased to hear that she's doing well. So glad that I mentioned her on this forum, or did you stumble across her as I did?? The same dealer had her yearling (I think) colt up for sale with a choice of two possible sires as he wasn't sure who got in with her. Responsible breeding? I don't think so!

Its really good to have updates. Please keep them coming!

 

[char3479]

Hope this works!

Big change in her, well done.

What a state she was in when you got her. You have made a huge difference to her in just a matter of weeks. Look at her lovely shiny coat. well done! xxx

 

[char3479]

Thanks all. Still early days but I'm pleased so far.
Cundlegreen - was looking on Horsemart anyway, and phoned the bloke about her but then did a search on here which definitely fuelled my fire.
Will add some more photos next month!

Really well done, now I've seen the photos of her. She didn't look as bad on the ad pic, but, God, SO glad you got her! She's coming on nicely and was probably giving everything to her foal. keep us posted!

I did not - thanks - will have a look at some - maybe that's what she is!

Beatrice, have messaged you but basically lots of conditioning cubes, Alpha A Oil, Outshine & haylage. Little & often. Except the haylage which is ad lib.

[laura7981]

Wow!! Well done you! She looks 100 times better already! Just goes to show what good food and TLC can do

She looks like she is coming on nicely, well done. Do you know when she is due?

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

Well done Char

on rescuing her and for the change in her , she owes u her life ^5

How about some face pictures see the change in her eyes ??

 

[char3479]

Not a great selection. The first is not long after she'd arrived. I think she looks really sad in the middle one but she is mid-chew!

 

[char3479]

This is the one that was supposed to upload second.

 

[lornaA]
