Update on "Filthy"

[lelly]

I posted a couple of months ago about a horse I bought in a bad state. Ruby I called her. I bought her as a four year old but it turns out she is two today. She had the wrong passport. Anyway I managed to find the right passport through her microchip number. I was told she was a welsh cross friesien but I have spoken to her breeder and she is actually a welsh d cross Irish draught. She was an absolute mess when I got her but she is coming on lovely. So here she is before and after.
[/IMG]She has changed completely in the three and a half months I have had her. She has trust issues from ill treatment in the past but is coming round nicely. She has a beautiful nature and I am so pleased with her.

[mynutmeg]

Shes gorgeous and going to be lovely ehen she eventually finishes growing

 

[9tails]

Very nice! But she very much looks 2 in the original photo.

 

[Moomin1]

She looks very hairy in the first pic, but not in a terrible condition to be honest.

Glad she has found a nice home anyway.

 

[glamourpuss]

I'm not surprised you are pleased with her she looks absolutely gorgeous in your after picture!

 

[Adopter]

What a difference, how nice that you have traced her breeder. Lovely to see her looking so loved and cared for.

 

[teabiscuit]

She was filthy wasn't she. She looks great now, and such a difference in her expression.

 

[Sukistokes2]

This made me go awwww,
she is lucky to have found you and honestly by the look of the second photo you are lucky to have found her. What a star!

 

[lelly]

Thanks everyone, she is lovely. I know the first picture doesn't show how bad she actually was. She was riddled with worms, covered in lice and feather mites. She had a big bottom but she was very ribby. She was covered with what I can only describe as concrete. It was that hard that I have had to wait for it to moult off. Washing didn't touch it not even pliers could break it up and it was too close to the skin to clip off. I'm pleased she's with me now because she will never be in such a sorry state again.

Wow massive difference! She is lovely. Well done to you

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Oh bless her - lice, mites and worms, she must have been miserable. She looks fantastic now - well done.

 

[Lolita]

[kerrieberry2]

[lelly]

Thank you everyone. We still have a lot of work to do but she is getting the right care and nutrition now so onwards and upwards!

 

[Goldenstar]

She looks fab and a nicer cross IMO have fun with her .

 

[Merrymoles]

She will be a cracker! How big is she? The pictures are deceiving as she looks much smaller in the first pic than the second.

 

[lelly]

Yes goldenstar I agree a better cross, I was very happy when the breeder told me. Moleskinsmum she is about 14.2/3, very bum high. The second picture is a close up as she always walks towards the camera to see what it is. She should hopefully make the 15.2 I was hoping for now.

Great for riding and driving .

 

[lelly]

Yes I agree but the roads around here are very busy. I'm not sure it would be safe driving. I know I will still have to ride on them but at least you can get out of the way.

 

[Elsiecat]

Wow!

 

[lelly]

Hi Elsiecat, I was hoping you would see this. Hasn't she changed? I am so proud of her. You must have had the same feeling with Bailey. I hope he's ok.

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Seriously though she looks amazing....and what a lovely cross

 

[LittleGinger]

Wow, what a beauty she's become! And in only 3 months? Brilliant - what a lucky little mare
