Kacey's Changes in 1 Year (July 2016-July 2017)


Kacey has been through a lot in this last year, but I want to track how his conformation has changed over time. This post will be where I track those photos. I may or may not split out into different posts, but for now I'll just keep updating this one. :)

August 2016 - We left the barn we were boarding at. Too many horses, Kacey was losing weight too fast, and the farrier had made him lame with the last two visits... -_- We'll be staying outside of town until I can find a barn I can afford, that is also safe & welcoming (for both me and Kacey). Luckily, I have just the place. Thank goodness for SCA Family...

NEW BARN - July 2017: After recovering in the country for about a year, we moved to a new barn (potential lessee) and he's been there for a couple weeks now. He's put on a lot of weight, which I think is a combination of the alfalfa hay he's getting now, as well as the once (sometimes twice) weekly lessons he's in (they're only walk/trot for the moment).

Kacey-Sep 2016
September 25, 2016 - I should have taken the bareback pad off, but was in a hurry. We moved from the barn we were at, so that he's not fighting so much. He's a bit drawn in here, but he's gained about 20 pounds since moving here! He is also much happier with Moose & Solomon (and the goats) as his only pasture mates.

May 2017 - He is clearly enjoying the pasture with green grass. :)

July 2017 - Leaving for the new boarding barn. He has transformed quite a bit
since moving from Bad Barn (TM) last August. I'm looking forward to
what weekly work-outs will add to this, as well!

July 23, 2017: NEW BARN! His rump has really started to round out and with the weekly lessons (just walk/trot for now with a potential new lessee), his back is started to get some muscle back. I've also been doing some of the grooming "exercises" that Jen J taught me last summer at the SCA's 50th Year Celebratory event in Indiana.
