Good morning all,
On May 13th, we drove up to Paul's Valley, OK where Bureau of Land Management delivered over 200 Mustangs who were adopted for the Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover. We brought our new girl, Golden Curls American Honey home to Golden Curls Ranch. Since then we have been busy getting her back into good healthy and putting some weight on her beautiful bones.
Here are a few photos from Day 1
She showed symptoms of shipping fever, had numerous bites and kick marks and her right eye lid was split open. We started her on Uniprim immediately as we have done with all of our BLM Curly Mustangs and she is improving tremendously. Here are photos from Day 5...
During this time we are working on gaining her trust. What huge progress we have made!
Golden Curls American Honey has been entered into the Mustang Heritage Foundations' Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover which will be held September 15-17th in Ft. Worth, Texas. She is the first Curly Mustang to compete. Here are links to their website for more information:

Angie and her Golden Curly Mustangs, Texas
Wow Angie, I think that is great what you are doing. I sure wish I had the time and the facilites to do that too. The pictures of her with the mats of hair it was like I wanted to come through the picture and start brushing her :) Going to have to keep checking into your blog to see how progress is coming and can't wait till this fall to see how things go as well. That is sure exciting! Have you ever done this type of thing before?
ReplyDeleteDana,
ReplyDeleteThanks! Oh my goodness, it was so hard not to reach over while I sat with her and grab the hair but I know she would think me a predator and we will go backwards. So my friend and fellow trainer, John created a back scratcher by taking a leaf rake handle and attaching a shedding comb using duct tape{:>
No, this is our first time to do something like this but what a wonderful opportunity to introduce our Curly Horses to the horse world. The ICHO Convention will be held in Ft. Worth during the competition hope you can join us. Angie
I knew there was a convention in VT but didn't know there was one in TX. I looked it up and thinking we might be able to drive down from MN to that one. We love Fort Worth! It sounds like you took on a fun and interesting adventure and can't wait to keep reading about your progress. Do we have to registar a head of time if we are coming for the convention and the cost?
ReplyDeleteOOO Curly Sista!!!!! My heart so smiles anytime I see or read about you and Honey!!!! Dana...Angie's blog is WONDERFUL reading and she has some great video of Honey taking some breakfast out of her hand!!!
