Jerri, Apple and Nellie are doing very good. Jerri now comes to her feeder and does not shy away when her feed is being placed in the feeder. Apple aka Plunger Lips is very social whether feeding or not..extremely food motivated and quite animated. Nellie still is a bit nervous, but once her food is in the feeder she walks over and begins eating, just do not look at her..lol.
Nellie has very soft eyes and I can tell that eventually she will be a very sweet girl. I just wish there was a way I could reassure her. She seems to lacking confidence which is sad.
Jerri's eyes have not softened yet, but she has moments when she lets her guard down and relaxes. All of this is new to them, and I know that one day they will understand that we are here for them and we will keep them safe, loved and healthy to the very best of our ability.
I am truly enjoying them and they are such good listeners.
I look forward to seeing Big Boned Babies...very exciting, and a guessing game at this point. I am going to snail mail the former owner and hopefully, maybe, possibly he can give us a closer date as to when or if they were for sure covered. If only one of the girls is in foal, thats okay, because we know that they are safe with us and they will not be at risk of being sent to slaughter. I pray passes the anti-slaughter bill passes, and that the ban of transport across the borders will pass as well.
Let us make our calls and faxes, let's help all the horses and speak out for them!
