Ebby's Prize

This prize of Ebby's takes the cake. She cannot carry it, it is almost larger than she is but she doesn't want to leave this wonderful dead wood chuck.
and just in case the teeth of this woodchuck are not visible we needed a close-up.

WHERE does she come up with these dead animals. We think she stakes out the road and is quick to claim and carry off the roadkill, although that doesn't explain a cow leg.
Sanna's leg was hosed off while she was being fed then she knows the next step in the healing process is to head out into the field. She would prefer to be with another mare and once let loose looks over to see if I'm going to turn anyone else out.

The picture below shows how nice her feather is on 3 of her legs, the back left leg is shaved almost bare in order to be able to keep the wound clean.

Sanna is a wonderful Friesian mare, always willing to do what ever is asked of her even if it hurts. She stands very patiently each morning as her wound is cleaned, hosed, then medicated.
Steven showed up at the farm and helped tease both Wynne and Dalia. Today is the 12th day since we started teasing. Raven is ever hopeful for the work and each day disappointed.
Lily had knocked down a railing during the night so Steven got out the hammer and nails and fixed it. He is a great guy to have around, he sees the work and does it without being asked.
Today Aldi will need to be visited and laundry started.
