The next morning I take another look at her.  She was about 400 pounds underweight.  She was a rack of bones.  I wish I would of taken a picture of her when she first got here.  It was horrible.  I started grooming her and noticed that I couldn't get the mud off of her legs.  It was grown into her skin.  Out comes the clippers in the dead of winter and I shave her legs and belly.  Trust me, it was the only way to get the mud off.  Great.  Now she looks like an Ostrige.  I told everybody not to make fun of her, she was sensitive about it.  I didn't want to take her full coat off because it was so cold.   Anyway, I get Paul (the vet) out and he falls in love with her... not very typical of him... he offers to fix her teeth pro-bono.  What?  wow... of course I take him up on it.  Then I get the ferrier out.  He works on what are supposed to look like hooves.  I add Nutrena senior feed to her diet and voila! she's gaining weight and looking 100% better.  Guess I should thank the girls for bringing lady Popcorn into my life.  She's a doll and to top it off... she's a really nicely trained horse that is beginning her career in teaching people about horses.  Thanks a million girls, and I mean that... but next time... BRING ME THE GROOMING TACK!
