Today is the last day of March and several days into Spring, however we are have sleet this morning despite the 42 degree temperature...what crazy weather!
On a positive note Snowy continues to thrive and gain weight. You can now see the difference and tell she is filling out some hollow spots around her hip and tail bones. Her coat, while it is shedding out for warmer weather, is looking better also. The farrier was here and she got her hoofs trimmed and the cracks in the front hoofs are growing out nicely. We are estimating that she has gained approximately 145 pounds.
Snowy has become very settled in and has become a little more self assured around the rest of the horses. She will go into the pasture with the others but doesn't find it quite necessary to be in close proximity to the others. Kathy has been working with her on her ground manners and she is doing well.
Better go now as we are expecting a visit from some of our Grandchildren and I have to get the tractor ready for riding.

Hi Hank:
Am so proud of you and Mom for what are doing for Snowy. I can't get over how much better she is looking and I know she is feeling better. You guys are awesome and there need to be more people like you who are willing to help these horses. Am so impressed with your work with her. Awesome job Sheriff Ritter! "Wild Horses" forever!
Love, Anne
