But tonight I decided to post some before and afters for some black and white comparison of what Amber was, and what she has become. Kind of inspired by a facebook status Andrea (at The Continental Drift blog) posted about unfancy things...just reminded me I had wanted to do this.
Before, December 2010.
After. Some of these are from Summer 2011, some are from this year.
(Ignore me here, I look foolish)
Her tail is even longer now. When it's in a relaxed position, it touches the ground. It's really a gorgeous tail...I'm proud to say it was accomplished by MTG, keeping it clean, conditioned and brushed, and good nutrition. She's not a million dollar warmblood, but she's something more than the $1,500 "mutt" I bought. ;) Or what I thought was a mutt until we found her papers. I'm still not sure I see the cutting/cow horse in her...or the racing QH. Which is what's in her ped. Like, 3/4 of them are ranch horses, cutting and cow horses, I think maybe a couple of reining horses, and maybe 1/4 racing QHs. Go figure.
I'll be sad if she can't jump anymore. She loves it. She drags you towards the jumps if you aren't paying attention.
Wow! Quite a change. Just goes so show what some good care with lots of love thrown in for good measure can do. Wishing you both well on all the vet reports. A little jumping would be fun for all.
