Coggins

Dr. Pallen arrived just after 9:30 and before 10:00 am she had finished and was on her way. She was actually shocked when she arrived to find none of the horses tied up ready for her but even more shocked when she was taken to each paddock to find each and every horse on the property was thrilled to see her, came right up to the gate and waited in line for her to draw blood. That is all except Ribbon, not that Ribbon ran from her just Ribbon didn't come to the gate to greet and meet her Ribbon made Emily walk into the paddock. When Dr. Pallen asked about this, Emily told her Friesians just love people and even at Middle Grove they wait in line to be worked and will jump in any trailer if the door is left open. By the time she left I'm sure she was thinking she had just visited the twilight zone. She made the comment this just doesn't happen with most horses. Below are the 8 horses she drew blood from for the 2016 coggins test plus the other 2 we are taking to the fair. Can you name them top to bottom?








I had a fun day with the grand children then a quiet evening. The weather has turned nasty with blowing winds and driving rain and temps above freezing but not by much. Tomorrow we will have more ice on the driveways and roads.
