Another Vet Visit

Mike hauled the trailer in to Butch at French's, not only did he drill out the sheared off lug bolt holders replacing them with new, he fixed my truck's 4 wheel drive. That had been stuck since the IL Horse Fair, somehow someway Butch was able to free it. Since I couldn't pick up the paint mare, Darcy was picked up early. Emma was so glad to see Darcy and Darcy was so glad to be home. She spent the day resting quietly in the bedroom. Clair's filly had an appointment with Dr. Hoerr for 1:00pm to get her back hock checked. Thank goodness Dr. Hoerr has air conditioning in his operating room, it was miserably hot topping out at 101 degrees Fahrenheit today in our area. Today she walked in quietly, stood for the sedation and seemed glad to lay down on the nice comfy couch. Dr. Pallen is preparing the flushing fluid while Dr. Hoerr is preparing the filly in the picture below.

Dr. Hoerr flushed the shoulder again and the back hock, then she was given an antibiotic shot directly into each joint. Her umbilicus was checked and thankfully has now closed up. In the picture below she is finished, just waiting to wake up for the ride home.

Diane and Ruth met over here at 5:30pm, we drove to the Fellowship hall for last minute preparations for Rebekah's big wedding reception. Rebekah and Ruth have the fellowship hall decorated very uniquely, I think the 500+ invited guests will be very pleasantly surprised. We were on our way home just pulling into Hanna City when Sarah Reinhard called. She needed us to head to Kristin's and pick up a car. That gave us a chance to check out Kristin and Rodney's new beautiful home. Once back the 2 stalls needed to be cleaned, water buckets filled and hay given to the stalled mares and foals. Even at 9:30pm it is miserably hot.
