WHOA!!! LET'S HOLD ON A AWHILE. I AM A HORSE OWNER AS WELL AS A HORSE LOVER, HORSES DO NOT RESPOND TO A GOOD SUPPLY OF FOOD AS OTHER MAMALS DO. THEIR GUT IS VERY TOUCHY, IF GIVEN TOO MUCH OF GRASS, FEED OR WORMERS TOO SOON THEY COLIC. NOT THE KIND OF COLIC A HUMAN CAN HAVE. IT DOES NOT GO AWAY WITH A LITTLE MEDICINE. THE COLIC SWELLS THE GUT AND SOMETIMES TWIST AND CAN LEAD TO A VERY AGONIZING DEATH, BECAUSE IT CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH, ESPECIALLY IF THE HORSE HAS NOT HAD THE PROPER AMOUNTS THUS FAR, IT TAKES TIME FOR THEIR SYSTEMS TO ADJUST TO THE FEED,GRASS AND ETC. THE THREE WEEKS THAT THIS RESCUE FARM HAS HAD THEM MAY JUST NOW BE SHOWING VERY SUTTLE SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT. I AM SURPRISED THAT THE HORSE SHIPPER WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT. I AM NOT SAYING THAT THIS COULD NOT BE AN ABUSE CASE, I AM JUST SAYING SOMETIMES LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING. ANYONE WHO REALLY KNOWS HORSES WOULD TELL YOU THE SAME. I HAVE HAD HORSES SINCE CHILDHOOD,HAVE GIVEN CLASSES FOR HORSE MANAGEMENT SO I KNOW THAT SOME SITUATIONS CONCERNING HORSES TAKE TIME,DECERNMENT,AND GOOD OLD HORSE SENSE!!! SO PLEASE GIVE THIS HORSE FARM SOME CREDIT FOR TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY CAN. THE STATEMENT WAS MADE THAT MOST OF THE HORSES LOOKED LIKE THEY SHOULD BE PUT DOWN; WELL THAT'S WHAT A HORSE RESCUE TRIES TO AVOID, BUT IT TAKES TIME AND PATIENCE, SO LET'S HAVE SOME.
