After the burst of adrenaline from the move wore off, it became apparent just how stressed and tired and hungry she really was. She was easy to chase off her food, she would snatch a mouthful of hay and run if disturbed when she was eating. She was either on full alert or asleep most of the time. I started cleaning up cuts, especially an infected one on her hock and tried to keep grass hay in front of her all the time.
Thank you for your link. I almost cried reading your blog posts. I feel so much for horses, and ya know, it feels like it came out of no where. I have no experience with horses, only rode once in my life at 15 with a couple of friends and because I was so scared of the bigger horses, I got to ride *Mr. Ed*, the horse they let children and the handicap ride lol! But it was the happiest of days and I still remember it to this very day!~
