Huey Gets New a New Rug...

I finished work a bit earlier today - so I decided to go down to Horseland, and pick up a new halter for Huey. I have a zillion halters, but I wanted to get him a new rope one. Ofcourse, when I get there, I'm mesmerised by all the other shiny things, and even worse; the dazzling SALE tickets!! 'Be strong', I tell myself. And I was, until I discovered a brand new 6'6 Saxon flymesh combo rug ... Normally $80, on sale for $55 ... I thought about eBay briefly, but by the time I pay postage it would have cost the same, if not more... SOLD! In the end, Huey got himself a new rug, a new halter, and a new lead .. While I was at the counter thinking I escaped lightly in the grand scheme of things (SO many delectable items were on sale, you know te ones - the MUST HAVES that you don't really NEED), I remembered I saw "Ammo" wormers for $10 on special - so ofcourse, I raced over and got one of them for Huey as well...

Then.... I ran like hell before I went back in there and bought MORE stuff. hehe.

After that,I went straight to the paddocks and moves both Huey and Red into their new paddock together. I put Huey in first, he ambled over to meet the neighbours - ambled about a bit more, picked some grass. He was content for life to go slowwwwwly by.
I then went and grabbed Red - much different story there. He had to meet EVERY neighbour, now. It was like speed-dating for horses. Sniff. Squeal. Next pony please. While he trotted up and down to meet the neighbours, head arched and tail up, Huey ambled behind - maybe threw in a few strides of trot. But life is to be enjoyed slowly for him it seems. He's a pretty calm dude. There's a very nice amount of spring grass in the paddocks right now - and the boyz are loving it...

I took a piccy of him today to map his weightgain progress. There's a little but more coverage across his ribs and hip now - not a great deal, but it's all coming together. I gave them 3 biccies of oaten hay and 1 biccy of lucerne hay to share this afternoon. While Huey does NOT want to share hard feed, I have discovered he'll share hay with Red happily enough. He'll be another grey land-whale soon enough, just like his new bestest buddy Red.
