Pneumabort Shots

Braelyn came over to play today. She was so funny, she would grab the cane, climb up until she was standing then dance to the music that was playing on the computer. Does that make her a pole dancer?

She is also singing to the music loudly and not always on key.

The music was hymns by the Peoria choir so perhaps it is acceptable to dance to that.
Next she decided to rearrange everything in the drawers and cupboards she could open. Grandma stopped that pretty quickly. She crawled over to her chair and had a ball climbing in and out.

She was very determined to get in.

And when she had it all figured out she was so proud of herself.

Anna picked her up way to soon, she is such a fun little girl.
We needed to give the mares going to Springfield, IL their pneumabort shots. TSC was out of them and Steven offered to go to Farm n Fleet to pick them up. He got their last three shots meaning Ribbon will have to wait. Ribbon is just about due for her 5th month shot, Steven said he will check at the TSC in Washington to see if they have any. Ylse got her 5th month shot and Jenis got her 7th month shot a little early but better early than late. The last mare needing a shot was Lily. Now Lily went to UofI at 8 months of age with a bad case of EPM. She has hated needles since that time, so it isn't easy giving her shots. Her head was put into a bucket of grain while Steven did the honors and it still took 3 sticks to get the job done. If she would only stand quietly she would only get stuck once. Good thing I have an entire box of needles. Lily was moved in with the Indy, Ribbon and Eliza were not letting her in the shelter. She deserves a bit of pampering, she is one of our best mares. Ylse was given her grain, she is not gaining as fast as she should but has a good appetite, she is not dropping grain, her teeth aren't bad, and she was power packed a few months ago so I guess we just need to be patient. She needs the good rich spring grass.
There are a couple paddocks that could use hay, Mike will help with that tonight. It was raining this morning and the wind picked up this afternoon, just not a real nice day to be outside.
