Today's Pics

Oh, for cryin' out loud, my camera is now taking 4meg pics. Why does it DO that.. Oh, well. feast your eyes on his food, and his clean stall, and his filled in topline, or spinous process. That's better, sort of. It will keep him warmer. His coat is really thickening up, which will camo the ribs even more. That's the new perfectly normal, for a horse, when he stands in a cage, 24/7/365. Sure makes sense.

To SOME.
Heck I talked to my MPP's assistant today, she said "I know nothing about animals, but I know that's wrong". We'll see. Elections (oooooh) are coming, so these things are unimportant again.

Or until she makes him look like this again.

He'd just started the real re-modeling of his cage in the May shot, eh? And his topline was disappearing, but that's normal, aPparently, as of course, they do lose muscle tone. When they don't move. AT all.

Compared to three months later. Yum, yum, YUM.

OH, here's pics you haven't seen, maybe. Sept 24, and if you thought he was a healthy pregnant mare, you'd be wrong.

See how shadows can hide a dark horse's ribs? He's turning left there, ribs should be less visible..
Isn't he a looker. Yeah, he has that crimp in front of his croup. Breeding can do that to a stallion. But his whole put-togethered-ness is pretty freakin' correct, for a TB..

So, today, you wouldn't gasp in shock, looking at him in his stall, if you knew nothing about horses. MAYbe. Yay, OSPCA.
Poor old Chief is just not quite shock-worthy, he needs to be ignored. 'e's justahorse.
And I have to get some sleep.

Thank you for inviting me to your blog. I read regularly, but rarely comment, so it was a plesant surprise.
There HAS to be a special place in hell for her. That is not hay/feed, that is trash.

OSPCA needs a visit from the clue truck. That is NOT adequate horse hay.

The only thing that 'hay' (if you can even call it that) could be classified as adequate for is, ummm, I dunno, bedding maybe? Maybe? Even that is a bit of a stretch though...

The only way to look at it on the bright side is that horses will pick through and eat the best of it, leaving the rest. Even when it is as crappy as that, well, CRAP! But when it comes down to it, they will, just like the rest of us, eat
anything if they are that hungry.

I can only hope something will happen for the better. Soon! In the meanwhile GL, you just have to hang in there and be strong. For yourself and for the horses sake.

The media is too involved in the elections, which are WAY more important than some horse in a garage.

We had a response from the Star, but yeah, elections, FFS. The thing next door's letting him get real low on water. I'm not sane enough to NOT water him. Which is what the OSPCA recommends, when you see neglect. LET IT HAPPEN. Let it happen. Tell us, We'll stop it.

bastards.

Heard nothing back from Greg Sorbara's office. Who will be in power?

Sure as heck isn't me.
