(Note that her left front foot has quite a knuckly bumpy thing still going on.)
Unlike many neglected ponies that are rescued all skinny, ours was 300 pounds overweight. From her walks and diet she has shed 126 pounds since last November! She adores Dan and whinnies when she sees him. It's a reversal of her attitude toward men on arrival, when she bit him whenever she got the chance. She snorts when she sees me. I'm not sure how to take that.
We may put her on a lunge soon; it's getting to be quite a workout for us to take her out, since she can go so much farther now and energetically "pep steps" on the lead for the first ten minutes; she is barely halter-broke and will test anyone who attempts to make her stop or start on cue - at least until she is tired out.
