About Cappy and His Secret Santa Wish List

Cappy’s Bluebonnet story starts before he was even born. Thirteen years ago, his dam, Black Betty, and her friend, were given to a man when their owner couldn’t keep them. They had been riding horses and pets, and this man put them out in his pasture to roam and eat grass. He had plenty of grass, so they stayed fat and pretty happy until one day, a neighbor’s stallion broke in and both mares got pregnant. One mare had a colt who was never gelded, and as soon as he could, he started breeding both mares. After that, both mares stayed pregnant. Sometimes their foals were hauled away, and other times, their foals stayed and grew up in the pasture. There was plenty of grass, so they stayed fat. People came and fed them sometimes or gave them treats, but no one taught them anything.

Earlier this year, the man died and his family asked Bluebonnet to take the horses: ten horses, and only two had been halter-broke. Black Betty arrived heavily in foal, and about a month later, on September 14th, Cappy was born. For the first several weeks, Black Betty was very protective of Cappy, so his foster home couldn’t handle him. But he’s getting used to people now and will be wearing a halter soon.

He already knows he likes pets and loves his feed. He likes to run and buck and play, and be a baby—but he’s going to need a few things before he's able to be adopted.

Cappy's Wish List:

Cappy needs a weanling-sized halter and cotton lead rope. The Country Prode adjustable breakaway halter comes in a weanling and is $14.95 from Big Dee’s, and their 10-foot cotton lead rope is on sale for $4.95. A creep feeder—a foal feeder with movable bars so the foal can eat, but mama can’t—is $47.50, also from Big Dee’s. Cappy and his mom can also use Omelene 300/Mare and Foal Feed. A 50 lb bag of Purina Omolene #300 Growth Foal and Lactating Mare Horse Feed is $25.64 at Tractor Supply, and ten bags would make a difference! He also needs funds toward vet costs for vaccinations and gelding (once he’s weaned).
