Skinny Minnie is no longer skinny!

[MrsElle]

Skinny Minnie arrived just over 4 weeks ago looking like this:

Today, I took off her rugs and she looks like this:

Her scabs and sores have healed up and there are signs of hair re-growth. Her locking stifles are much better now she is a bit fitter, and she is just lovely!

I have no idea what breed/s she might be. She is around 14hh and is 4 years old in March. Not really bothered what she is tbh, all I know is she is fab

So, goodbye Skinny Minnie, and hello Bailey

Oh my word Mrs Elle!!! fantastic job, she looks wonderful already, totally different.

Very well done!

dont know her story but wow she looks great , amazing what a little tlc can do , well done you

 

[Tickles]

Wow! That is a very quick improvement! Lucky her to have found you!

Can you not keep her being called Minnie though? I know a few Bailey geldings! UNless of course she is a tomboy ;-)

Not-so-skinny Minnie looks lovely, a real shine coming through her coat now - well done

 

[MrsElle]

Thanks all, not down to me at all, just good old Dr Green and plenty of hay. If I feel particularly generous I use a fishermans catapult to fire some pony nuts up the hill It means she has to wander about a bit more than she ordinarily would, thus building muscle that helps with her slipping stifles.

.....blasted phone posted before I had done!

I must admit I can't get used to calling her Bailey, she tends to get called 'The Skinny One', so might end up calling her Minnie

Brilliant job MrsElle We have recently had a similar breakthrough with an old mare so I fully understand that excited feeling when you take the rug off and dont see bones!

I think you should post me your scrummy highland so you can concentrate on minnie!

[spotty_pony]

Wow, what a difference after four weeks! Well done!

 

[Chestnutmare]

What an improvement well done she is looking so much better!

 

[rockysmum]

What a difference in only 4 weeks

I think she should be Minnie too, everyone knows her as that now.
