Honey the ASB update and progress thread!

Thanks so much :heart:

Cutie pants just grazed today. But after grazing, my friend who is our trainer, and her horse (Honey’s boyfriend) scooped her up to pony down the trail and get a sense of how she is. She was wonderful!

Also just had to grab some shots of her being her beautiful, dappled, thick self!

The halter I won in the raffle this week arrived. And she literally held this pose until I took her picture :joy:

Nice halter! Who makes it, do you know?

Thank you!

Yes, it was made by Evermore Bridles. They’re on facebook.

My best friends gifted me this adorable set and I’m obsessed with how she looks in it.

She does look very alert. But she settled after the atv’s stopped zooming by.

Next door have bought 4 sheep. My two think they are theirs.

When I pick a feed I make sure no molasses. I let them have molasses but not daily.

She’s still quite underweight.
How long have you had her?

Speaking for OP, she brought her home around July 1st. ASBs run on the slim side and, IMO, mare has put on an appropriate amount of weight in that 90 days and will continue to fill out as she gradually is able to build top line and overall muscle and return to a regular work schedule.

^^^ This. Honey will never look like one of those over-muscled, too heavy for their feet (other breed) of horse. Saddlebreds are generally built thinner. I explain it to people like, “If she were a person, she’d be built like one of those tall, thin marathon runners.” And then they get it.

Agreed, until that fills in with muscle, no amount of feed will fill those areas in.

I love the riding photos. You guys look superb, keep it up.

Yes, I’d forgotten it has only been 90 days.
Seems much longer.

I understand ASB build, had a TB myself.
I just see a croup, haunches and shoulder that need more.
But yes, early days still.

I do, too. I realize I am in a small minority, but I would feel I was being remiss if I didn’t offer this opinion.
