May 23, 2014- Pasture Time!
Star was able to go into pasture to eat for the first time today!  She LOVED it!  Ginger was very upset to have to wear a grazing muzzle.  Unfortunately in order for Ginger to graze in pasture with Star she will have to wear a grazing muzzle, so she does not gain too much weight.  Gingy soo loves to eat and can eat a lot very fast! ( as a Shetland can!) It was hard work keeping her from hurting herself or me today, but we made it.  Star did not like seeing Ginger upset and began running in circles around me and bucking!  Glad to see her energy up! ha!  It will take time, patience, and lots of training to get Ginger use to the grazing muzzle, but hopefully she will and will be able to graze with Star during the day.  Star will now be able to graze in pasture for an hour each day!  She hung her head through the fence after we brought her back in....she so loved it!  It was fun to see her run to Ginger every time she had a bit of distance between them.  I checked on Star a few times during the night last night- just to make sure she was doing ok after the wormer.  She seems to be handling it well and hopefully it is working!  Will be wonderful to get rid of the parasites so she can recover quicker!  More pics tomorrow-
