Wendy called mid-day. She and Hystyle got Rosy this morning. She loaded nicely...and then decided "maybe not!". But it was too late - she was in and they were ready to go! So, they said their goodbyes and got on the road. Back at Wendy's she unloaded and led nicely to the paddock and settled in and started munching hay.
She's very thin. Walked sound, but we'll see what she's like at a trot. Plan is to let her settle in without messing with her too much for a few days. Sara - we'll be sending you pics and looking for a consult! ;D
More later...but so far so good.

Rosie is doing great. Very calm. She's tall and thin. She got a little excited when my horses started acting like idiots at feeding time (It's like Groundhogs Day - they do the same thing every night - chasing each other away, and they all end up in their correct spots, you would think they could just do it without all the drama!!!!) and she trotted (sound) around the corral. She doesn't whinney or talk to the other horses, doesn't call out for her 'pony' that she left behind today. She is alert, but calm. She left some hay from this morning, so she isn't a big eater, or she needs her teeth checked.
I will download some of the pictures Hystyle took today.

Could be just a slow eater. I have a mare that eats all day, tiny little bits at a time ;D

Good luck Wendy, and thanks for stepping up......I'm glad to see the owner is giving you third degree! It tells me she cares, and wants the best for the horse. More horses should be so lucky..... Yes she does. I got a thank you email from the surrendering owner this afternoon - "...She is a very sweet horse. I am glad she is going to a great place. Thank you for taking her it really means a lot to me. I dont think a lot of people when they sell their horse get as much comfort and reassurance as I did..."

These will have to hold you over until Wendy gets hers uploaded. They were taken in the last 2-3 weeks. Y'know, she doesn't look THAT thin to me (for a TB) ;D

I think I like this person. Her email has a tone of sadness in it, but she wanted to do what was right for the horse.

She is very cute. I am very happy that you guys are doing this for Rosy. I will send a small donation to help with her care or training.

Rosy is very cute! She has a very kind eye. Needs some pounds, but her hooves look pretty good. I didn't know what to expect when we went to get her...she was pretty darn calm, even when her pony buddy was having a fit that her friend was leaving...well until she sat in the trailer... Then she wasn't to happy! I hope the pictures turned out...I stink at taking pic's! Sorry!

Rosy IS adorable! I agree with toeps, such a cute head! Can't wait for updates, but I'm betting she's going to be a real doll by the looks of her. Thanks Wendy and Tonisha for going to get this gorgeous girl!

Just my 2 cents, but she doesn't look all that thin to me! She looks pretty good!
Gotta love the TBs....I'm addicted.

Rosy doesn't look thin in those pictures, but she is pretty thin....especially under all of her hair that she is shedding.

Pictures from Wendy!! Pretty girl! "Nice to meet you all!" Look at this soft eye... "Just pickin' up my feet and checkin' things out" "A plastic bag. On a stick. Touching me. <Yawn>" Wendy says she leads nicely and hasn't done anything naughty. She was completely unimpressed by the scary plastic bag. All in all, behaving like a complete lady. Almost a QH, eh Wendy? ;D

She looks much nicer in her latest pics. Nice eye, pretty face, and not as thin as expected even with that winter coat. I think she will be a real WOW in a few months!

Wendy sent me a PILE of pics - I just pulled out the body, the head, the eye, the trot and the bag. The pics were great hystyle!
I never post pictures of people unless they give me their permission. The horses don't have a choice. ;D
