Camera Critters - Sugar

My mom will take in horses from time to time when they've been abused & need to be nursed back to health.
The black one shown here is Charrita, which is mom's horse & the brown one, Sugar, is one she took in.
See the sheep in the shade to the left?

Mom must have been in the sheep barn, because the sheep took off...
notice the horses are still grazing, so she wasn't in the horse barn. ;)

Here comes Taffy, another of mom's horses, on the right.


All the shots above were taken May 30th almost 2 months after mom had gotten Sugar, so you really can't see the extent of how skinny she actually was...

The shots below were taken July 4th and just look at her shiny coat, now, and how much she's filled out.
Sugar is a beautiful & happy horse and is being well taken care of...
The question now becomes will mom be able to give her up when it's time to go live w/ her new owner?
I, for one, don't think she'll be able to...

Oh - I can still see Sugar's ribs. She looks thin.

What a wonderful deed your mother is doing.

Wow, that is a big difference for the better. I am not a horse person but am becoming more so and learning more by a few of the blogs I follow. Pretty neat.

I'm glad your mom took Sugar in and is giving her such nice care. She looks great in these recent pictures. The general views are so peaceful and attractive. Makes one want to visit and just sit and watch the animals graze.

It takes a special person to nurse an animal back to health and pass it on to its new owners.

I can tell Sugar has had a hard time. She's shiningly happy in that last shot.

Ryan said...

Your mom is a saint for putting in the hard work to nurse these poor horses back to health. Who the hell would treat these beautiful creatures so appallingly, I just can't get my head around it.
