Matilda is going for slightly longer walks before her twice daily grazing. We’re still at least a month from riding her, but some light ground work, such as learning voice commands during her walks, is going very well. She’s smart and responsive to John. She whinnies whenever she hears or spots him. This week, she began trotting and tossing her head in anticipation of her tasty food. Her hay has progressed to better quality grass hay and alfalfa. She’s still on senior and alfalfa pellets twice daily with her medicines added in. She cleans up everything we give her.
Her second weekly bath shows a few less ribs showing, some thickening of her neck, a little rounder between her croup and her tail head, and a brighter attitude. Our new weight tape has her at 650 pounds, so she is gaining nice and slow. The antibiotics are likely having a good effect on her overall attitude as the infection gets under control.
