Meet Paisley. She is a paint we just got (looks like we aren't getting a dog in 2 months after all
He just gave her to us with her registration papers and everything! We had a 2 horse trailer and he tried giving us 2 but it just wasn't feesable for us right now. We worked one horse into out budget as soon as we knew he was giving them away but we couldn't find how we are going to work in another until my husband maybe gets a raise in 3 months.

They were all a bit underfed and I can understand why he had to give them away. There is very little grass in her temporary pen but she has found it and has just about eaten it all. The one thing she hasn't done yet is drink water. We just got her home last night and I know that she hasn't had enough to eat since she was nursing and that in her mind food is her number one right now but I really need her to drink.

We built her a smaller temporary pen until she gets used to us and then we can move her into the bigger pen and work on bigger skills. We went over to Tractor Supply to get what we needed to bring her home (
