Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

He is a Quarab, and I just got him early last year. He is a rescue, and I didn't know at first because he wasn't really limping or acting odd, but he has chronic lamenitis. He was actually lame on all 4 feet, and since it was balanced, you couldn't tell. My farrier originally said that it was bad enough that he would never be rideable, and might not make the winter. I changed his diet and monitor him pretty heavily, and when she came out a couple weeks ago, she said that he'd grown half a hoofs worth of new growth, and in a year, he'd be clear to ride lightly. Luckily, I wasn't going to ride him heavily anyway, so we're all good!

That sounds like a wonderful development. I'm so glad for you both.

Happy Pony Sunday!
Gosh, do I miss this horse. I really hope that he is doing well in his new home. I’m pretty sure that he is my soul horse, you know?

Thank you! He is a welsh pony.

This should be a short little video of Gumbo. He was making the typical “Ooh, there’s food!” Rooster noise.
Sorry, but I’m sure he’s a rooster. He’s my fourth roo that I’ve had. He’s almost as big as Pastel, and he’s twice the size of my full grown hens (almost twice the size)

Oh why can’t they keep both feet on the ground?

Too cold! No, I just so happened to have my phone out and caught this. She put it down and walked around on the cold ground, reluctantly.

This is him with his owner. My instructor was leasing him for a year. He moved about two hours away from where I live. I personally think that he looks good in navy blue, but Royal blue looks even better. I think that darker blue just looks odd on him.

But look at royal blue on him!!

Or…. Cussing you asking where’s the heat? Hahaha.

In the coop! She went in, along with the others after they got their treat.

Gosh such beauties

Do you think you will maybe get a couple of pet chooks? Maybe a couple of silkies? Or polish - they are small and quiet.

Enablers!

With the way things are going I'm thinking it wise to have hens that lay. My son did offer to help me with it. We'll see.
