Cookie has been adopted! She will be heading to her new forever ho e within the week. Sad to see her go, but happy for her!

Getting better at wanting attention, too!

Cookie after a rainy inside day. Soon they will be getting out for the night now that the wet has moved out.

Cookie and Desi are buddies now, and Cookie’s other BFF is Dancer (Desi’s granny).

It was in the mid teens with a wind last night, so blankets and out was the management strategy. This afternoon I’ll pull blankets as more normal temperatures are on the way.

Cookie is a very good, very mannerly mare. She has great social skills with the other horses.

That said, I’m very sad to say that she clearly expects human interactions to be negative. She would rather not be caught, often won’t take a treat, and generally looks miserable and suspicious when approached.

I’ve been catching her, giving a treat, scritching, and turning her loose most days. Eventually she’s going to be happy to see me! Some day .…

Cookie is now with the herd. She’s a well socialized mare and would be a good companion for her forever home herd mate(s)!

My pasture is now on rest until the spring growth, but Cookie is a good hay eater and easy keeper.

The next goal is for her to decide people are friends—she is very mannerly and easy to handle, but she looks very suspicious rather than pleased when approached. I’ve gotten a big bag of treats and as of today I’ll walk out, give a treat and some scritches, then walk away most days.

Her former foster home did a great job bringing her into healthy condition and setting her good manners, so the next step is wooing her into liking attention.

Cookie is now successfully out with all the herd.

Getting to know Dancer, my 27 yr old off track thoroughbred. This was day one—they have now smoothed out their relationship nicely.

First day out in the pasture.

Cookie the Foster Morgan has arrived! We drove down in some nasty weather to fetch her. She loaded right up, was worried in the trailer but quiet about it.

Once at her new digs she settled pretty quickly into her new stall, had a nice big drink, rolled, and got busy picking away at her hay while meeting CC through the mesh.

Tomorrow she I’ll go out in an adjacent pasture to the herd. We will give it some days before starting her in with the less dominant horses.
