Are there any updated pictures of the little guy? We love pictures here

I need to get some updated photos. I want to take some tomorrow. He's getting his feet done - I need to get some shots of his impressive starvation lines.

I PowerPacked him (he and Diamond shared one) three weeks ago - I think his worm belly is shrinking. He has gained 25# (by tape) in a month. He doesn't need much more weight, just condition.

I got him a jacket because I've been considering body clipping him. His starvation coat is so wooly, I can hardly get to his skin. I worry about fungus. I've worked on a couple of scurfy spots that I've found so far.

Playing dress-up when his jacket arrived last week:

I forgot to say - I figured out on my keyboard how to spell his name properly: Brøkk

It's pronounced kind of like Brook - just with a Norwegian accent.

Brøkk got his feet done yesterday, these are "before' pics - didn't take "afters", but his feet are shorter and balanced, and still have the impressive starvation line









I may not need the drag line when I turn him out much longer - his love for cookies is winning against his aversion to being touched.

Rngovvet, How's everything at the ranch? What's the little rescue guy up to?

Brøkk is doing well. He comes when he's called now, so no more drag rope. He's had his teeth done, and his feet have been done twice, so they're looking really good. He's kind of a stinker - he likes to sneak up behind and nip at the posterior. Being winter, he's only caught clothing, though. He gets a growl and stomp in his general direction when it happens, even though it's amusing and pretty cool that he went from a wild child to comfortable enough to be impish.

I bought a driving harness for him, but have been under the weather for some time, so I've been doing nothing but essential maintenance around here. I haven't ridden in a few months...
