Valentina: Day 1

I wanted to create this blog to chronicle little Valentina's progress. Its hard to see the differences day-to-day, so I thought if I write it down, at least I can use this as a reference!
We found Valentina through craigslist; she was a free-to-good-home ad. We went to check her out, and the woman had rescued her and a few other horses from an abandoned property. Unfortunately, Valentina wasn't faring so well, and once tested, she tested positive for Cushings. The woman was able to get her on the meds she needed, and start her on a good diet. What the woman felt she really needed was a little kid to love on her. Enter...Lily!

So, Valentina came home with us on 9/25/12, with the help of my ever-enabling pony loving mother. We got her home before Lily got home that night, and after dinner I told her it was time to feed Sam. We went down to the barn, and once we got down there, she knew something was up. This was her face before she peeked in the stall.
