Ribbon's Mastitis

There was no school today for Karin's kids which meant she had the day off work and headed here to train mares. She pulled Ribbon out first so we could check her udder for mastitis and it was not better. Karin got busy milking her out while I drove to Morton, IL to visit Farm & Fleet for a box of ToMorrow (cephapirin benzathine)for her udder. Dr. Hoerr's office was called for advice and the receptionist said he would pass the message along but the call back never came. Not wanting this to get worse, she was treated as our Jersey cow was treated when she came up with mastitis. Sure hope cow medicine will work for horses, tomorrow will tell if ToMorrow works.
Meanwhile Karin worked Jenis, Ylse and Zalena afterward stating they were all fabulous. Karin believes the Friesians of Horsemeister are very talented horses and is enjoying working with them. Once I was back with the teat medicine Ribbon was brought back out, Karin did her best to milk her udder out before squeezing the meds up into her teat. Before she left for the day we worked on the vaulting demo script and the daytime Friesian demo script for the IL Horse fair. This year we are going with a story line but we won't spill the beans ahead of time, if you want to hear the story you must go to the fair.
Mike hooked up the trailer after dinner and hauled 4 horses to Middle Grove. He left Mika, Sally and Paris at the cabin, taking Jewel, Bunni, Ayanna and Bow. They are spending weekends at the cottage and want some riding horses out there. Ella was moved into the middle paddock as that one has almost 2 full round bales.
It is after 9:00pm the wind is moaning around the barns and when no entrance is found shrieking at the windows and doors. The woodburner is filled with bright red and orange coals, the dogs are snoring in front of it as close as physically possible without burning themselves. I just finished a book on the history of the 1812 war, most of the story setting was during the battle of New Orleans.
Below is a picture of Killian's dam. Notice the thick curly FEATHER on her legs, notice her long FORELOCK. Killian definitely has the genes to be a Fantasy Friesian
