I’m glad! We got her to pay attention like that by playing horse sounds on the photographer’s phone

4·4 days agoShe really is! She moves so beautifully like 99% of the time, so when she does trip and I witness it, it’s the funniest shit ever lmao.

pics@lemmy.world•Sandy and I had a little fashion show while waiting for the Christmas pic photographer to show up
2·5 days agoOmg it makes me so happy that you like my posts so much! I totally didn’t think she’d get a following like this when I started chronicling my work with her.
Don’t worry, she got more
I 1000% did lol

2·16 days agoSo her horse cookies are just treats from a bag I got at tractor supply. I think they have oats, mollasas, apple, and some other stuff. They taste like nothing to me (yes I tried one out of curiosity lol)
Sandy has gone from 775 to 820 in 2 months! That doesn’t seem like much, esp for a horse, but it’s a big deal for her. She was stuck at 775 for ages. I think starting her on an additional caloric supplement was a great call.
She’s honestly doing so much better than I expected her to be. I’m so happy with how thick her winter coat is and the weight gain. I’m hoping that I can maintain this weight for the winter. I wanted her to be like 850 going into winter, but I knew that wasn’t gonna happen lol.

2·16 days agoThe weight tape is a measuring tape that you wrap around her abdomen from the withers to over her heart. Whatever number lines up with the little starting arrow on the tape indicates an estimate of her weight. It isn’t super exact, but is the most readily available method for weight tracking.

4·16 days agoHonestly, all kinds. I played The Tardigrade Song on repeat yesterday so I could learn the lyrics.

Lmao honestly.
I’m amazed she let the photographer put the wreath on her. She’s usually wary of strangers doing more than just giving out pets
