Ok....here's the latest update. We left Bastrop (Texas) at 7:30AM and it was 2:30 when we loaded her in the trailer to come back. We got in at 9:30 pm.....What a trip....She looked worse than she did last Wednesday...I don't think he's fed her a drop of feed. She was staked out on a rope in his back yard. Pitiful....Boy you should have seen her perk up when I switched out the halters and led her to the trailer. She saw that little bit of hay I had in there for her and I had to get out of her way, she was ready to go.
You talk about a sweetheart. She loves my 5 yr old grandson. I don't know how many times she put her head down Sunday for him to love on her while we were hand grazing her. We Started on her diet to recovery, almost felt like having a baby with these every 2-3 hour feedings. We took pictures of her Sunday and I'll post them later this afternoon. Here's the bad part: SHE IS 14 HANDS AND 700 LBS. With her size and length, she should be 15 and 1200#'s. So believe me when you see the photos, you can tell she's 500#'s underweight. She also had a big welp on her girth area from when he rode her "he said yeah I had the saddle pulled back and guess I pinched it". Well his dumba*s, when he rode her Wed when I was there had a neoprene girth on her (normal) then his rear girth(flank strap) was a wide roper type string girth, like you'd use on the front.
Let me tell you, I couldn't get her out of there fast enough, I had him write out a bill of sale and left. I didn't even waste my breath in saying anything to him, he's such a slob and he was sitting there drinking beer with a buddy of his so I just didn't even bother. I know she's going to be fine now and thank God I didn't wait to go get her a week later.
