Pony update








     The girls have now officially been cleaned up!  They've got some slow progress coming.  Drifter lost a little hair as I combed out the rat knot mess she had in her mane and a couple brush fulls out of her tail.  I fear they'll both lose a lot of their tail(and manes too) as they get healthier.  Similar to the bad brittle hair that Bahloo had and I ended up brushing her tail practically half off and shaved her mane off.  I really do wonder what she looks like now though.  Bahloo was so pretty!
      I see Bailey's flanks filling in and she's starting to grow in some decent fur and it's actually black, so she'll be a black pony with chrome!  Her eyes, she does rub them, they itch at least the one eye does.  I've searched for more of the terramycin to put in her eye, just like I did for Jasmine.  Then try to find an old flymask to get that over her eye to keep the direct sunlight out of it.
     Drifter's eyes have cleared up, their pee is still a bit darker and thicker.  but she should be ready to go once she fattens up some more.  I'm going to have to find some local round bales that can be delivered because the lack of tractor to get them out there without sinking in the mud is an issue!
