The little rescue horse that arrived on Sunday is improving fast. Already he looks vastly different from three days ago http://www.boquetecoffee.com/1/post/2012/05/sunday-reflection-blessings-in-rescuing-and-being-rescued1.html.
We now know his name is Dorado and this is a picture of him this morning. We are using temporary electric fencing to clear areas of grass land before planting coffee. Little Dorado is getting to do the job. Sometimes life is a beautiful thing. Joy the rescue dog likes to hang out with Dorado. Two happy campers enjoying a sunny morning in the long grass.
Horses loose condition very fast. Fortunately they can also put on weight quickly especially if tempted with nice green grass and have their sweet food amended with oil and other goodies. It will take longer for the food to work its way from the tummy to covering those skinny ribs but in a couple of weeks he should be unrecognizable. It will take more time to get the luster back on the coat and his hooves may show the stress for a bit. It may even be possible that he goes through a growth spurt over the coming months. He looks stunted to me. Given size of his head and height of rump he should be taller.
God bless little Dorado, I will keep posting updates.
