Steven picked up Star, drove him straight to Hoerr Vet clinic where Dr. Pallen floated his teeth and drew blood for his coggins. He is VERY thin, rated just slightly higher than a 2. To put this in perspective, a 1 is pretty much dead. The pictures don't truely show how extremely thin Star is, to see him in the flesh (or in his condition no flesh) is to be pretty horrified. Star was a great horse taking 3 of the Bridlewood kids to a C3. He is now at the Hanna City farm until we can get some round bales delivered here at Bridlewood.
Each morning when I arrive at the farm, there is always some kind of surprise waiting for me. This is what was waiting a couple of days ago only all 3 boys were just standing inside the shelter staring at me as if to say, we didn't do it, it just fell on it's own. (Sound familiar Dan?)By the time I got the camera out Valiant went over to the feeder.
This morning it was Ylse's filly standing again outside the fence and one of the other gates half off. Rachel helped put both back on. Yesterday I started digging up the leak, got discouraged and quit and this morning both Mike and David Sauder are working on it. Fixing this leak means I don't have to keep filling Raven's water tank, his automatic waterer will be back on line. Samantha's filly seemed a little depressed so her temp was taken and she is running a fever. She does not have a runny nose and her lungs sound good so she was given banamine and put back out.
When I got home from the farm, this is what Emma was dragging around chewing. It is our bumper to the Toyota, for some reason this one eyed dog loves to chew on cars.
Speaking of Emma, she is going back to Dunlap vet clinic tomorrow for her eye. It is not improving even though she is getting the drops 4-5 times a day. She will need to be sedated to check it out thoroughly. No food or water for her after midnight. She will think I'm trying to starve her. Emma is a little over 10 months old and weighs 118 pounds.
