----BEFORE----
This is the way Thin Mint looked the day we brought her home. She was so thin, as you can see, but she also had bed sores on her hip bones, shoulders and legs, b/c she didn't have the energy to stand up all the time like a normal healthy horse. Her coat was a mess as she had a fungis called rain rot all over her body and she had worms. Her feet too where in horrible shape, probably years since she had seen a farrier .
----AFTER----
This is Thin Minty (we just starting calling her Minty - b/c she wasn't so Thin any more!) in 4 months. Her wieght was back to normal and we put muscle tone back on her. Her coat shins and all the sores and fungis are gone. We ended up putting front shoes on her feet to keep her sound on the trails - she LOVES the trails and the KIDS. You can see what a nice horse she is as this 12 year old girl took her in the July 4th parade with no issue. This mare has been rehomed to a great home, but look at our READY for ADOPTION page for horses you can adopt.
