Star is beginning to act like a young horse! This is wonderful news! She is showing curiosity and even rolling on the ground! We have made progress towards worming thanks to Ginger! They are now licking molasses off of my hands! Soon we will mix wormer into the molasses and hope she laps it up! At first Star would not go near the molasses. She is afraid of new dishes or containers, but not my hands; so I began hand feeding molasses to Ginger and Star began licking once she saw her "new mommy" licking!
Lots of fun pictures below of Star licking minerals and molasses and Micah took a great pic of when Star was curious as to what we were doing in the barn! She then came into the barn all on her own to see us! It was a wonderful moment when we knew she was beginning to feel loved and at home. Now- to get rid of these dangerous parasites! Which is why we have included a picture of one of our chickens. The chickens are wonderful helpers to Star too! The chickens scratch and break up her manure and eat the worms and help to stop the cycle of the parasites. That is great news for all of the animals here. Thanks chickies!
