1/3/98 - Some of the Davison Rescue Horses
Above is the weanling we estimate to be carrying an extra 50-60 lbs. of manure on his body. He lies down a lot and has no sparkle in his eye.

The phrase "caked in manure" doesn't really paint the picture. As we were looking at this pitiful baby, I heard a strange noise. It sounded as though someone had many strands of heavy ceramic beads clacking against one another. I looked around to find a baby in the adjacent stall merely "swishing" what was left of it's tail, the clacking noise made by big beads of the "petrified" manure on his tail. This stuff is like concrete, not like cake.

"Saint Peter" -- A three or four year bay colt. It's hard to see that his hooves are curled like a ram's horn.

One of the mares with badly deformed feet.

Another of the babies encrusted with manure.

"Sweet Pea", a beautiful, sweet, friendly mare is in better shape than most. Standing near her stall in conversation, she came up behind me, blew a sweet nothing in my ear, put her cheek close to mine and just stayed there for the longest time.

As said before, we'll try to keep you updated on some of the other horses and will be posting more pictures.
