BTW, your new pasture looks to be pretty. I'm surprised at the size of some of the stuff the brushog cut down.
Are you going to leave the apple tree?

I'm really glad I took those pictures last night. Funny how when you look at horses everyday you don't really see them. I hadn't realized how much weight Rusty has put on, which given his circumstances I'm glad, I would think that means he is better but...
He got a feed cut back today. Not much, tho. I want to see how he holds up now that he is going back to work. But I wouldn't think him being too fat would be a good thing for him. I mean, I can't even feel a ripple of rib. Up till now he has always been a bit of a hard keeper. I'm not sure if the weight gain is from him being better, or not having to do any work for so long, so I don't want to cut him too much.
Also, he was sweating last night when I took those pictures. The other horses weren't. I remember the vet saying it seemed to her he sweated "inappropiatly". So I'm not sure if that was a good sign or not. Last Thurs when I worked him on the barrels he was sweating like the other horses there, BUT, he wasn't panting like he did in the past, so that was good.
