Rosie arrived at the ranch about a week ago. She was to be here for a short stay in between foster
homes, but one of our boarders, Mary, feel in love. So Rosie is here to stay. Shes an OTTB, that is 26
to 28 years old. She is tattooed, but her letters are in the recycle category right now. In other words,
shes quite old. Shes doesn't appear to have any serious ailments. Shes been on omperazole for about
the last week to help with her obvious ulcer activity. She was originally rescued from the Roseville
auction by Safer.

Rosie has settled into her new paddock and shes gaining weight nicely. She had a dental appointment
on the 24th. She did well, and the dentist confirmed that she is definitely an old girl.
Her diet at the moment consists of low sugar hay, as much as she would like. Her mash is a mixture of
grass pellets, elk grove complete feed, vitamin E, ground flax, pre & probiotic.

Rosie has been on a mineral balanced diet for a couple of weeks. As of 10/19 this is what she is
getting. Free choice low sugar grass hay. A wet mash of grass pellets - 4 quarts a day. To her mash
we add: 2000IU's Vit. E, iodized salt, dynamite reg. Vitamin, dyna pro per biotic, 6oz ground flax,
copper & zinc. She is also getting approx. 5 pounds of a grass/alfalfa mixture added to her free
choice hay.
Rosies health is great, her energy level is really amazing given her age. Below is a video from
November 13, 2009. Rosie is the one running circles around the two younger horses and trotting
over the cavaleties.
