Blaze

I wish I would have taken a picture of this beautiful horse when we rescued him. We saw him at a livestock auction. He was about 2 years old according to the coggins report. The poor guy barely weighed 400 lbs. He was literally all skin and bones. You could see the outline of every bone in his body. No one wanted him because the feared he might be sick since he was so thin.

You never know what you are getting at a livestock auction. But I looked at my mom and we decided to take action. Bidding was down to $12.50 because no one wanted him. We figured heck, for $12.50 if the horse is sick and isn't going to make it, at least we can give him a good home until the end. We brought him home and he was the sweetest and gentlest horse. We started feeding him 3 times a day and giving him weight booster. And literally a month later he looked like a normal horse.

Mom says there was nothing wrong with him except for he suffered from "lack of groceryitis". Which after seeing how he has improved, I agree.

Blaze had "brain surgery" about 6 weeks ago, so he is indeed a happier lil boy. But contrary to the coggins report we were given, Blaze is not 2 years old, he is more like 5. The level of neglect on this horse waas pitiful.

He is a very sweet and very smart horse. He has come along way and is learning to trust people again. He warms up to others over time. But I am just about the only one that can handle him. I guess he figures I "rescued" him and fed him when he was on his last leg. So he trusts me. That is an awesome feeling.

We turned him out into the big pasture today with the big boys. He loved it. Mom speculates that he has cutting lines by the way he runs and turns...if he doesnt, I do believe he would be a great candidate for a cutting horse!
