Right after the walk I drove to Big R in Pekin to pick up vaccines for the 8 horses going to the fair. We use the 5 way by Prestige for $31.00 each. Those shots should have been picked up 10 days ago but I forgot. One year we had given all the mares their shots but didn't think about giving the 2 stallions going that year shots. Both boys came down with the flu which they spread to all the mares here that were not vaccinated. We don't take a chance anymore. The other stop made was to Aldi where I picked up ingredients to make the Berean meal. The Berean mail was picked up on the way home and as soon as I got home the Berean meal was made. Tomorrow we are having crock pot lasagna, salad, garlic bread and 2 strawberry pies for dessert.
Karin came after work to clean tack and also helped pack the truck for Wednesday. Rebekah arrived to work with Valiant. Valiant got his shot after his work out, the mares weren't worked today and all stood very well for their shots. We have such well behaved mares. The only mare that is hard for shots is Lily.
She spent 10 days at U of I when she was 8 months old because of coming down with EPM and during that time got stuck with lots of needles, then had colic surgery when she was 6 weeks pregnant with Ayanna 10 years ago. Ayanna will be 9 years old this year. Lily really does not like shots. Stephanie sent the picture below of Israel and his munchkin costume. It is PERFECT!
Israel is our only male munchkin as those other 3 Sceggel grandsons live in Texas and can't come perform at the fair. Diane has 2 grandsons and both will be coming to the fair but one is too old and doesn't want to be in the play and the other is too young. Thankfully we have plenty of other munchkins and all of them do such a good job with the acting in the play. They have a very special part but I'm not going to tell what that part is, if you want to know you have to come to the fair and watch.
