If you have a blender at home, maybe throw in some 'horse food' with a bit of water, maybe like those carrots and see if she eats it. Do horses eat peanuts? If so, how about a tablespoon of peanut butter? Bread without the crust? Anyway, I appreciated hearing about Angie. Give her a pet or pat for me.

Some oats might be nice, too.

Petties from me, too, please! I adore horses.

Poignant, beautifully written account of the story behind this neglected or temporarily abandoned homestead. Hope the stoical horse is ok still despite the scarcity of her equine and human companions

Poor dear Angie, so alone. Horses, mules and donkeys are social creatures, and she is too isolated. Her life isn't as idyllic as it may seem. She might develop a serious illness or be infested by blood sucking ticks. Not only that, if she has no paved road to run or trot along, her hooves will become overgrown and curl, and she will become crippled in pain, unable to walk. Those few people who come around need to do much more. They need to adopt her themselves, or contact animal rescue organizations, so she might get the help she will eventually need, or else help find her sanctuary if she cannot overcome the damage and pain caused by neglect. It's sad to say the potential is there.
