It's now 8 days since Snowy arrived, and it's already hard to imagine what life was like without him. Certainly less busy, that's for sure!
This past week seems to have been one long saga of phone calls, visits, feeding, grooming, treating him for one thing after another - the list seems endless.
He still has some lice, so his treatment is ongoing, but he certainly seems happier in himself.
He is however, getting fed up with being poked around and messed with, and seems very ungrateful at times - especially when he tries to bite or kick you.
All that said, it has to be remembered that he is a horse, and doesn't understand that what we are doing is to help him. His treatment, especially for his mud fever, must be painful at times, and I've no doubt that sometimes he must wish that he is back where he came - left alone, untouched by meddling human hands.
Oddly though, he is always pleased to see us, and actually cantered up the paddock to us yesterday. It might though have something to do with the bucket of feed that accompanies us, rather than the pleasure of spending time with us...
I have taken a photo of him today, and added it to the photo collection in order to compare them.
Minimal change, but fingers crossed we will see an improvement over the coming weeks and months.
