If you have been following my blog,
then you know that Becky brought home an "off the track" thoroughbred rescue
several weeks back.
Pete was a sad bag of bones, emaciated, injured...
one heck of a mess.
Over the past several weeks Pete has been grazing himself back into good health.
Dr. Becky treated Sids wounds, worked on his teeth and hooves,
and kept him supplied with ample amounts of feed...all helping to get the weight back on his skinny body.
His pasture mate, Duffy, is a 30+ year old retiree.
(also an off the track thoroughbred)
but they have never been out to pasture together.
Until yesterday.
And this is how it went..

Things got a little intense, so Becky got a halter on Sid and took him into the barn.
Pete's not up to too much running yet.
This process will take a while,
but eventually they should work things out.
It would be great if they could eventually be pasture mates,
as both horses require a lot more grazing than her other two horses.
As you can see, though, old Pete has come a long long way!

So long as there is a racing industry, there will be millions of Petes and Jeffys!!!!

Pete looks GREAT! Bless your dear heart for taking him in and giving him such a good life... Sid is a beautiful horse.
Take care, and thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful post!
