I don't know why I put a question after, you have done a great job, It should have been an exclamation point:). That makes it look like I'm questioning your great job:). I'm not, the horse looks great, it's funny how with good care and food they actually change colors. I would not have thought she would get so dark if I had seen the second picture first.

When we got her, her hair was almost 3"long and sun-bleached. Her mane was down the full length of her neck and her tail was almost to the ground. You wouldn't have expected that for being in Georgia!!
We are theorizing that she had so little meat on her bones to protect her last winter that her body said "we have to get some protection here" and just grew all that hair!
She was so full of worms we wormed her twice (even though this "person" said that she had all her shots and was wormed monthly). She claimed her feet had been done regularly, but our farrier said she'd never been touched. She was full of lice and the first thing we did besides feed her and call the vet was to chop off that dead hair. We knew that she was a dark bay cause you could see her color on the part of her face she scratched the dead hair off.
I am so angry with this woman...she was feeding them 10% feed...for babies! and I didn't see a bale of hay or a blade of grass on the property.
Anyhow, she has turned around 500%, doesn't have that sad look in her eye...actually goes for the feed (she didn't half finish her feed the first week and only picked at it). She's quite a bit smaller than her brothers, like 2+ hands smaller, but she has those wonderful long legs of her dad and brothers and I think with being out in a huge pasture for exercise and my boyfriend being a world class "feed master" she'll still get some good size to her.
