tissue on her left rear pastern from what looks like a wire cut. She got
that when she was a baby before she went into race training.
I'm waiting a few more months before doing anything with her. She's just
getting to enjoy life as a horse and grow up a bit till then. She was a bit
underweight but is starting to pack on some pounds. I was supplementing with
rice bran and a feed supplement on top of her pasture & hay. I stopped
because now she looks at me with the look of "I'm full, I don't want anymore
