Chili Joins the Herd

March 10th, 2010 3:36pm - Posted By: Stacey Couch

The time has come that we all look forward to from the first day a malnourished horse steps foot on the property. Chili got to join the herd! She had a couple solid weeks of integration time with one of our seasoned mares, Atta, and another new mare, Shannon. They ate, made acquaintances, and shared shelter in our mini pasture. Chili wasn’t too fond of the neighbors she had during that time and didn’t understand why Atta would spend her time making kissy faces with the miniature horses, but otherwise everything went off without a hitch. We have to admit, although Chili might not want you to know, that when she first went into the mini pasture she spent a good deal of the first hour trotting about with her tail straight in the air like an Arabian!

We’ve posted a video of the short walk Chili made from the mini pasture to the mares pasture with her two friends. It’s so wonderful to see her trot out into the great open space of the pasture! To view the video CLICK HERE.

Chili is still on 3 meals of grain and soaked beet pulp per day with alfalfa at breakfast and dinner. She has a few more pounds to gain, but is nearly there. She’s so full of life. It is such a delight to watch her trot around the pasture with the other horses. Now the next stage to this happy ending is finding Chili’s forever home.
