Not the greatest pics of her but...

Miss Melody seems to be feeling good today

She had a bit of a temp last night (101.7) but it was normal this morning. I let her out into the larger paddock and I couldn't even get her to look at me because she was so into eating the grass. It is turning green fast so she only gets to stay out for a little bit.

Oh and since I know the question is going to come up, I did end up selling the colt. I know some of you had strong feelings about me having a companion for Miss Melody but in light of everything that has happened we decided this is best for our family at this time. She will be getting a pet cow very soon

Whether she likes it or not is another story. If she does great, if not there is no damage done. My Dad and husband have both voted for a cow and I think it is a much safer choice for us right now. Plus it won't STRESS me out

So that's where we are at right now and I am very relieved to be back down to only one horse and Melody seems to be ok with the situation as well

I will try to get some better pics in the next few days. I guess we can't expect her to look like a beauty queen after what she's just been through

It's wonderful to see miss Melody in her own pasture again.

She's looking pretty good, considering what she's been through.

So happy to see her happy!

Considering what she has just been through, she looks great. It must feel so good to her, stretching her legs, eating grass and being back at home.

As far as a companion for Melody goes, you have to do what is best for your family. I'm not going to judge you Brandi, you guys have been through enough.

Brandi, I was just gonna post to ask how Melody is doing and here is your message! You know we all want to know..

I think she looks good, she has been thru alot lately!!

Boy you sure are having good luck selling, you sold Kya and the colt fast... So theres always that good news...

You have to do what works for you guys.

I have a friend who raises minis and now has his new mini bull, he gonna get into mini cows...

Thanks Basket! I figured it was time to post at least a couple

I have had great luck in selling lately! It's amazing how much trouble I had "buying and keeping" but the selling came easily. I take that as a sign that it was the right thing to do

I have been looking at miniature cows for awhile now but there don't seem to be any breeders in my area. Also they are kinda pricey. I am keeping my eyes open though

I like the miniature zebu and the miniature jerseys

I know horses do better in twos or more, or with some other animal to keep them company. But I don't think it is absolutely necessary either. I had a single horse for several years and he did fine. I bet Melody would be okay on her own if it is not a good time in your life to have more than one animal. You can always get another mini friend for her later on when it better suits your situation. The most important thing for Melody is that you can give her the care she needs and obviously you have done that and more! If Melody is the only animal you have the time and resources to handle at this point, I wouldn't stretch yourself thin trying to find a companion for her. Not an ideal world but she will be fine. A lot of horses live in less than ideal horsey conditions and do fine. I'm guessing that the majority of horses would prefer to live in a huge green pasture with a big herd of buddies and just eat and sleep all day!!

Glad to see her back and running around! She is sooo sweet!

Glad to hear she is doing better!

Where abouts do you live...I am so JELOUS that you have GRASS and not SNOW. I almost forget the ground is actually green!

I live in the central valley of California. It will be green for a few months until it starts getting really hot. Luckily we irrigate during the summer so the pasture stays green all summer

I can't believe the amount of snow some of you have been getting :Cold-Scared

Glad to hear she is doing better!
