Solly is still going strong, though he will need more care in the future. A lot more senior feed, and a lot more exercise.
I really brushed his tail out at the beginning of the month. I had to braid it in 6 sections just to GET to all of the hair in there. It tends to twist around itself in long, long spirals. His tail is almost as long as I am tall!
here he is with a clean, brushed tail.
He got pretty bored, but was fairly patient about the process.
Solly is a love, and if I whistle to him now he will come trotting over from wherever he is, most of the time, because he knows there will be a feed pan or a treat waiting for him!
Not too bad for an ancient pasture puff.
It has now been just about two years since I first met Solomon. His life has really changed since then! And so has mine.
Hi, I'm Ev. I'm training to become a horsewoman. These are my adventures and misadventures. I'm green as hell, but so far, so good. I'm now learning from Bo (and sometimes his wife DeDe) at D&D Ranch in Pope Valley. I am extremely lucky to have this opportunity, I feel quite blessed, and I feel that they, and horses, have really turned my life around.
Solomon is my baby- a big old flea bitten grey Appendix gelding who is very kind and way too smart! I love him so very much. He is a rescue and was meant to be co-owned rehabbed, and maybe rehomed to a good home. He turned out to be over 25 years old with injuries that ultimately do not make him riding sound, so he is retired.
