Her color is a bit darker and the cool days and additional weight seems to have help increase her spirit to near the sassy level. Her estimated weight is now 790 lbs, up almost 150 lbs from where she started.

Bonnie Blue is continuing to gain weight and apparently the monsters in the pecan orchard have been tamed. She goes out at night and when we are not here she will go out during the day. If we are home she will stay in her paddock and wait on carrots or rubs.
Two weeks ago we started working with Vernell Falgout, an equestrian trainer from South Mississippi University. She has been a Godsend. She is teaching us to work with Bonnie Blue using the Tellington Ttouch Training method. We have only been working with Bonnie Blue about a week and a half but she is responding well. If anyone is interested there is a website.
She is putting on her winter coat and is beginning to look fuzzy starting on the face and moving to the belly. Falgout suggested we get her a blanket for the winter. She said that she was so far down in weight that she might need the extra warmth. Of course it has to be royal blue.
We have a pasture across the road from the orchard and we have begun to take her across the road to graze since the hay was recently cut. We have about 40 round bales of hay and her favorite thing to do is go scratch her face, butt and side on those round bales. She get hay on her face and all over her. Robin took her to the pasture Sunday and after the scratching and grazing she pooped and peed ed in the road before coming across the street.
Robin has started our winter garden and it happen to be next to the paddock. He was plowing up rows today and Bonnie Blue left the paddock to inspect the garden's progress. Robin tells her he is busy and has to time for face rubs. She leaves and comes back two more times. The last time her knees buckle and down she goes in the dirt. Rolling over and kicking her heel up in the air. This horse has come so far with food and love that we are amazed and find it hard to remember the horse they called Bones just over 2 months ago.
She has been a blessing to us.
