A Somebody to Everybody Posts: 41354 Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas	Jazz's Girl - 2016-12-28 1:26 PM I had one that wasnt fed very well her yearling year, courtesy of my a-hole parents...... When I got her as a long yearling she was maybe 13.3. Pot bellied, long hair and UGLY! She didnt stop growing until she was 7 and now stands 15.3 and is BEAUTIFUL! Noone can believe its the same horse. The only ones that know are the ones that were around when I brought her home. Theres still hope. Good feed and deworming program will do wonders for her! What does A-hole parents mean?

Elite Veteran Posts: 672	I acquired a yearling that had been locked up in a small lot with too many others and fed bad hay. She had long hair, was ribby and had a tight pot belly. Stunted and poor was too nice to describe her. My late yearling was quite a bit bigger then her. When I got her in I started her on good grass hay, wormed her and slowly started her on alfalfa. She has shot up and now is definitely thicker than my other colt and almost as tall. I can't beleive the change, I wish I had taken before and after pictures. I was thinking she would have to get put off a year but the way she's looking will be ready to start with the other 2s. It's taken probably 5 months to get her to really bloom.

Theres more to the story but thats the jist of it. I eventually got her and the rest is history. She is now with a youth rider running 1/2D!!!! But it took work to get her looking good!
