Brynn_grazing

This is Brynn, our little two-year old blind Arabian filly with the multiple medical problems.  Among her issues is a neck so short she can’t reach the ground with her mouth to graze without having to kneel down on her front legs … which is hard on horse joints!  So we like to take her to where the grass has grown so high she can graze comfortably without having to kneel down.  Thus on Sunday afternoon I took her for a walk along our drive where the grass is a couple of feet high, and she could grab big mouthfuls just standing there.  I looped the lead rope over back and took this photo. 

As you can tell, this is rich, thick, and very green grass … much to her liking!

Speaking of Brynn, her third surgery didn’t fix her leaking problem either, so we are back at square one.  I’ll let you know once we figure out what Plan D is!

    I doubt there is another place on earth who would go to such lengths (pardon the pun) to make this sweet horse’s life so manageable and pleasant…..I love my RDR fixes !!!! 🙂

    Gosh Brynn – I had my fingers crossed on the surgery. Still hoping they find another solution for you. For now, I guess you should just enjoy those nice daily baths you get! Glad that grass grows high where you are!

    That grass grew tall just for Brynn’s grazing pleasure! I’m so sorry that her 3rd surgery didn’t work, whatever happened to 3rd times charm? Please give her extra hugs from us, as she’s such a sweetie.
    Big hugs to all,

    Brynn is 2 years old now!? Wow…time flies when you’re having fun reading RDR blog everyday!
    I’m glad she got to enjoy some grazing time; what a pretty day!
    I wonder if her leaking problem just isn’t fixable. We’ll stay tuned for plan D. : )

    Sweet Brynn, I keep thinking that you have constant diaper rash. Enjoy that green, green grass. You deserve the treat.

    Poor Brynn, I was so hoping this surgery would fix the problem! Perhaps something like an ostomy bag might work.
