ANNIE AND WILDFIRE

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY MOTHER WELSH ( HALF SHELAND, HALF TN. WALKER ) HORSE, ANNIE. the brown and white one.

SHE IS GETTING VERY SKINNY AROUND HER BACK BONE AND HER HIPS.
HER COLT, WILDFIRE IS A YEAR OLD AND STILL NURSING. ANNIE THE MOTHER EATS CONTANTLY HAY AS WELL AS SWEET FEED. ANNIE'S HAIR STARTED TO COME OUT AROUND HER BACK BONE. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING A SPECIAL OINTMENT ON HER AND IT IS GETTING BETTER. I ALSO WORMED HER EVERY 2 -3 MONTHS.

TODAY I TALKED WITH SOME GUYS WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT HORSES AND THEY TOLD ME TO SEPERATE THEM UNTIL ANNIE'S MILK DRIES UP SO THE COLT CANNOT NURSE HER ANY MORE . TODAY I PUT WILDFIRE IN THE WOODED LOT RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO MY HOUSE.



I LEFT ANNIE IN MY BACK YARD AND FIXED THE FENCE WHERE THEY CANNOT GET TO EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN GET NOSE TO NOSE OVER THE FENCE WITH EACH OTHER.

IT IS VERY SAD TO ME THAT NOW THEY STAND AND STARE AT EACH OTHER. BUT I HAVE TO GET ANNIE, HER MOTHER BACK TO HER HEALTHY SELF. AND THAT TITTY BABY COLT IS JUST GOT TO STOP BEING A TITTY BABY AND GROW UP. IT'S CALLED THE CIRCLE OF LIFE.

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF THEM BEING SEPERATED AND HOW THEY HANG OUT AT THE FENCE ON OPPOSITE SIDES LOOKING AT EACH OTHER.IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO before you click on this video go down and turn off my music at the bottom of my journal

.

IT'S BEEN A DAY LONG JOB GETTING HAY ON BOTH SIDES AS WELL AS SWEET FEED AND TO GET THEM SEPERATED BY MYSELF AND FIX THE BARB WIRE FENCE. ALSO GETTING ALL THE WOOD IN THE HOUSE FOR THE COLD DAYS AND NIGHTS AHEAD OF US. IT FEELS LIKE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PIRARIE AROUND HERE AND LITTLE JOE IS LONG GONE.

IF I CAN GET ANNIE BACK TO LOOKING HEALTHY I WILL BE ONE HAPPY CAMPER. SHE IS SO SWEET AND GENTLE. I'M FEEDING HER APPLES AND CARROTS. I'VE SEEN TOMMY FATTEN SEVERAL SKINNY HORSES BACK TO BEING FAT SO I CAN DO IT TOO. I HAD THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD.

TOMMY ALWAYS USE TO SAY TO ME IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE GIVE THEM A HORSE. I KNOW WHAT HE MEANT NOW. LOL

I WOULDN'T TRADE MY HORSES HE GAVE ME FOR ANYTHING. I JUST WANT ANNIE TO BE BACK STRONG AND FAT WITH HER BEAUTIFUL COLT SO BOTTOM LINE GOT TO GET TITTY BABY OFF OF HER..
