Elle is our rescued throughbred mare. When we got her in October she was horribly skinny (see October blog).  We really turned her around.  We came out of a cold snap and she lost quite a bit of weight during the cold weather.  We are adding some supplements to her diet, but at 17 it takes time for her to put weight on.

She is jet black.  If I can get my pictures to fit in the parameters of this website, I will get some pictures up.  She is a retired race horse.  She actually won some money for her previous owners, not million dollar purses, but enough to pay the bills.  When she is healthy her coat shines a beautiful black gloss.   

We don't ride her in the winter time because it is easy for her to pull a muscle with all the ice around. 

She has a wonderful personality and won't hurt a fly.  She has been ridden by a couple of kids that had no experience and she was very gentle.  It is funny how certain horses are more careful with novice riders.  She will make a great therapy horse this spring.

Please pray that she gains weight quickly.  Thanks.  Merci.  Gracias.
