Clara & Colt Made it to Idaho

What a long trip for those 2 horses, they were picked up on the 20th and just last night got to their new home.
Yesterday instead of driving home after work, it was straight to the farm to relieve Steven who was on foal duty. Before he left for work, we got Big Sally covered and both Big Sally and Velvet were moved to the cabin field so they could have some shade. Then it was time to remove the splints off Samantha's filly. She was so funny once they were off, not quite sure what to do with her front legs. Her legs were pretty straight, but she is still on her tip toes a bit so Dr. Pallen told me to make the splints shorter, cutting them off at the fetlock. Samantha and the filly were moved into the arena, the footing is easier for her, no slipping on stall mats. Then she was given her .8cc of banimine and left to nap. Dr. Hoerr arrived at 6:00pm for her snap test which turned out fine. Mom invited me over for paprika chicken, wild rice, asparagus freshly picked out of the field, cooked with butter and hard boiled egg, and just out of the oven warm bran muffins. It is so delicious to sit and eat a meal cooked by someone else!
After dinner, Rachel Sauder came over to help put back on the splints and we were surprised at how well behaved the filly was during this process. Mike, Spark & Rhonda, Ralph & Jamie, and mom & I are all standing around in the big barn visiting when the filly decided to get up and nurse and made it up by herself. Mike was taking the first shift, Jamie is taking the 11:00pm to 12:30am shift, Rebekah took the 12:30am to 2:00am shift, Steven is taking the 2:00am to 7:00am shift and I'll be there a little before 7:00 to get the update and wait for the vets which are due around 10:00am. They were coming for sonagrams but will also check out the filly one more time.
