Starla is improving and enjoyed some pampering on Barn Day. She has been slow to warm up to attention and is unsure of how to take this new life. But she is finally realizing the kindness she is receiving is not short-lived and is being more social with people and other horses. She has gained approximately 100 lbs and received much needed dental work earlier this month.
