Green Monster



Charley and Speck have been at Poplar Springs Farm for just over two weeks.  I suspect that you will be able to see a difference in them since the last post.  They had a slight disruption in their one acre world and Charley was not happy about it. 





There was a great big huge green monster that got into their pasture and was chewing up their grass(weeds)!




Charley had never seen such a thing and knew that it certainly did not belong in his home. Speck on the other had, took everything in stride.





He figured that while he was in the pasture we call the Green Field, that he might as well
partake in some of the quiet and peacefulness.  Take time to check out the Koi, well what the Great Blue Heron has left anyway.





Maybe take a little time out and have a Zen experience.




Speck enjoyed the time to explore, but most of all, he enjoyed the possibility to find new grass.  His occupation at this time is eater.  He does that about 24 hours a day, and he surely needs to.



Their time out of their small pasture was short lived, but Charley was very relieved when he was able to return to their known world.




Charley is just beautiful and I loved seeing him run.  He is in good shape, except for the skittishness.  He did come to me when we were in the other pasture so that continues to be a good sign.  Speck also continues to show improvement.  He is a little more aggressive when I bring food and that will be curtailed when need be.  I just like to see a little spunk in him as it means that he is gaining ground.  They are on regular feed now and I think both are pretty much out of the danger zone.

  1. Dianne, they are both looking really good. I can tell Speck has put on some weight. They are both handsome horses. It is great to see this recovery in action. Thank you for the post!
