Memorial Sunday

It rained during the night and was raining this morning when I went up to the barn to feed.  Sheena's colt had some diarrhea on his tail but seemed strong and ok.  As he is just 2 days old though we didn't want to take a chance that he would get dehydrated so decided to let Dr. Hoerr know we would need him this afternoon. As Sheena is Mike and Diane's personal horse they took care of that.  Mark and I took mom to church. After church the colt wasn't better so we were really glad that Dr. Hoerr was coming.  Tori was teased and is still in so covered by Evan. Emily and Mitchel  brought Julie's beautiful paint mare Derby over to be bred to Valiant. It took her a little to show but she stood well. When Dr. Hoerr arrived the colt was checked. He had no fever but was a little dehydrated. Dr. Hoerr put an IV in and gave him a liter of fluids.

 As soon as he was given the fluids he was feeling better and nursed well.  Dr. Hoerr checked him over well.

 The only thing wrong with him is the diarrhea. We just have to support him with fluids until that clears up.  Stephanie had Israel's birthday party at the house and she went all out making this a ninja turtle birthday.

He certainly enjoyed that. Israel and David are camping here at the lake at Indian point in a tent. Sure hope they don't get rained out. After the party everyone went over to the playground. Spark brought his handy dandy crowd mover to give grandchildren rides while the volley ball players played. 

We had a big group playing games. A campfire was built and we enjoyed somemores  and visiting until quite late. The colt was checked on one more time, before heading down to the house. He jumped right up and nursed well.
