Ben's recovery after just 40 days

We are so excited to show you Ben's progress as he regains his health.  

Dramatic change most seen in his hips and pelvis area

We have seen a dramatic change in his demeanor in addition to the weight he is gaining and the muscle rebuilding.   

4-19-15 Ben's intake photo

He is getting 20 pounds of Dumor Equistages feed a day which means he eats about three bags of feed each week, 17 bags since his arrival.  He also gets 15-20 pounds of alfalfa and all the Bermunda hay he wants each day.  We also include one pound of Purina's Enrich Plus with provides 100% of his daily nutrients and the very important amino acids that promote muscle rebuilding.   

He has been dewormed and on Tuesday will get his feet trimmed again.  That same day will will clean his sheath and soon will do his complete dentistry.  His dermatitis is gone and you can see how shiny his coat is.  

Ben engages us and socializes with the other horses, comes when he is called (especially if we have a bucket in hand) and is far from the depressed horse that arrived on April 19th of this year.  

Over the next few weeks we will reduce the pelleted feed and increase the alfalfa so he can get back to a 100% roughage diet once he has bulked out and at a normal weight for his height and age.
