A visit with Wendy and her new pasture mate Lucy

This past Saturday I was out at the rescue to help with morning feeding and found that Ms. Wendy has a new pasture mate. Her name is Lucy and she is mostly blind much like Wendy. She is a nice gentle horse who like Wendy enjoys attention and treats. That morning during feeding time we had to work a little to get her over to the feed bucket by having Sally one of the other volunteers go in the pasture with her and coax her over to her bucket. Wendy's pasture has 2 feed buckets that are not located near one another and Wendy has one that she prefers over the other so Lucy was designated the other one. Later that afternoon volunteers Sheelagh, Miaka and I put a fly/mosquito,knat substance on each one of them to help eliminate some of those annoying flying insects. Of course they were happy as long as they were being given a few horse treats (apple/mollasses treats-yum yum). At one point during the day I noticed Lucy following right behind Wendy going from one end of her pasture to the other. Surprisingly, they seem to be very happy together. I think Wendy is happy to have a pasture mate...and we are happy to have Lucy with us now....
