Baxter is doing really well and he was excellent for being patient while myself and three volunteers worked on him today. He got his hind end cleaned up a bit since he had the runs after his deworming and he got his tail cleaned, brushed and braided and his mane brushed and braided also. I worked on his rain rot quite a bit and a lot of the scabs are starting to come off now. I weight taped him again today and he has gained about 45 lbs so far — up two notches on the tape, so he has finally started to put the weight on. He should be, for as much as he is eating! He pretty much eats nonstop now — he prefers just hay but he will slowly finish his beet pulp/senior/rice bran mush when the hay is gone. He’s going to be a nice boy!
