Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

She is a Missouri Fox Trotter, 12 years old, Palomino. I bought her out of a kill pen, south of Dallas. I named her Reina, it means Queen in Spanish. She’s real thin, but not the worst I’ve ever had.

Reina is home.

Id like a picture showing how you did it. Just a close up look at it. I need to do something new for my large fowl run.

My bantam coop has chicken wire over the concrete wire...

My standard coop has 2x4 wire over SOME of the concrete wire... but not all of it.

Here is that concrete wire, without a second layer, with snow on it.

You're a very special kind of lady. Looking forward to seeing Reina become happy and healthy, please update us.

Haven’t been outside yet, still dark. Have to go to Crockett this morning for feed. I’ll take Reina out and let her graze , spend time with her and let her know she is home and safe. It will take time, she might always be hard to catch, but a treat usually fixes that. Bribery!

That usually gets them to coming up. Just remember to stop after she does come. Horses are a little big to be spoiled and running up your a$$ when your trying to do something else. Especially if they're trying to bite at the same time.

I know you know this, it's more for the random ohhh they're so cute, person.
I use treats on the yearlings, and the wife brushes them while I'm gone to gentle them down, so I can handle them later.

Love the last picture, she’s already learning to pose for you.

I can't be 100% sure but I think Jack thinks he's a dog with tree climbing super powers.

My hunting dog, wife's dog and Jack, get along just fine. Which is good because I strive for peace.

My brother’s cat does too. She was a young kitten, still on milk, when we found her. So she’s grown up around dogs and a rabbit, not cats. Before my rabbit died she’d sit in her house and tap her with her foot or just snuggle her. Also smacked the daylights out of the dogs who came to steal the blind rabbit’s treats. The only problem is she hates cats and the mailman.

Yes me too! We will be gleaning info and planning,
DH is firm in thinking we have to take the WHOLE thing down and start over it was such a job to complete I dont want to take it apart,, I think the very first step will be putting braces in place like in the pic,, and fixing the 4 leaning posts.
