The start, April 2 to May 2 2010

April 2, 2010
North facing side door I took that very first picture from. I lifted the screen up a bit. Sue me.

Looking North, my house is behind me, and to the left. Behind the red door is a horse.
April 9, I couldn't back up far enough to get a full body shot, the side door and a bunch of (junk) stuff is behind me.
April 9,He'd decided to knock his panel down, as the hay was on the other side.RedGarageDoor is still closed at this point.

When I phoned the seller, I said the horse looked a bit thin. She said he'd been used as a breeding stallion. I could see a shadow of ribs, but not glaring, and I didn't think he was skinny, just a bit uh, lean. Let's look at May 1st, shall we?

I wish I had taken more early butt shots, but at the time, I wasn't seeing any back-bone, so I thought I'd take the shots of his neck and shoulders. His butt looked fine, not bony at all, when he arrived. May 1 showed a pretty startling change, to me. But meh, that's just loss of muscle tone, according to his seller, and the experts that are not me. I want you guys to look, and tell me what you see.

A couple came and looked at him, May 2, 2010, no idea who they were, but I loved them, because they mucked him out, and gave him two hay nets, and took him out for a walk. Funny how good a dark bay can look.. This was taken from my filthy living room window.

Oh GL, I just can't imagine how this must be for you. I'm so sorry. Damn, just looking at the damage to his neck makes me sick to my stomach...

Yeah, you noticed that too, huh. Like a goiter, but actually stretched loose skin, from straining his neck over the panel, to get food........


DING. I phoned the Mayor`s office today, but gee, there`s an election on! More money must be (wasted) spent..

Oh my seeing them all in sequence makes it so much more somehow, and the OSPCA still can't see that they are not helping doing so little? GAH!!
