The Nightly Feeding

Go to Jack’s weblog to see some photos he took of the horses during the the nightly feeding. Despite the difficulty of taking photos of dark (mainly) horses in the dark, you can determine that we don’t have the usual problem of keeping weight on elderly horses.  (I obsess a bit on the subject:  our first boarder was an elderly, very thin, Thoroughbred gelding named Dugan. I felt like hanging a sign on him:  “This horse gets as much food as is safe for him to eat.”)

Magic was doing a disappearing act. heh heh

I had to laugh at your story about Dugan. I think some horses, even when they're younger, just tend toward leaness. I knew a Tennessee Walker (maybe only part) once that was all gawkiness and sharp angles until he did that running walk. Then he moved like poetry.
