While they, momma and baby, are still at great risk, they are doing pretty well given the circumstances and Dance Recital did drop her milk so she is able to nurse tiny Jewel.

We believe the worst of the emaciation is over and have not lost any horses for the last couple of weeks. 2 of the 4 I was caring for did succumb to starvation, it was just irreversible. However the surviving 2 were re-united with their herd about a week and 1/2 ago. There was great joy in the herd, galloping in the pasture, something we had never seen from these horses. They are still at pretty significant risk for the next 5 to 6 months, and the rain rot on these poor horses was just abysmal. But their prognosis becomes brighter every week.
Keep us updated if you can, ok? (photos of Jewel too!)
