Bay horses that is. Dr Mike was out this morning. At first he thought Shade must have had a choke issue because her lungs sounded pretty good and her temperature was normal. Of course the fact she let him take her temperature is some indication she is not feeling real frisky right now.
Then she gave her cough. Its gotten barky now, and is getting some crud expelled. Plus Sadie obliged right then, showing she is getting a snotty nose too. So Shade got an iv shot of immune stimulant and a IM shot of penicillin and both girls are to get antibiotic powder for a week. And knock on wood that no other horses get it. Especially mom's minis. Chances are Shade picked something up at our ride 10 days ago.

I've always joked that I work to support my 4 legged dependents. Lately juggling a weanling and 2 older horses + my main riding horse I thought I may as well blog it for a bit.

About Me
- Teresa/ride4fun
- I work in a liberal city. I have 4 horses that I own solely and rent living space for me and & the horses at my parents place. In total there are 9 equines -2 are minis, a cat and 2 dogs on 10 acres. The cast: Ole: 2005? model pound pup. Sweet & boisterous personality Mia: 2003? Great Pyrennes dog. cat: Peekaboo -2007. Horses: Cindy. 1982 arab cross mare. Has sidebone so only light work but still has 'fire snorting' personality under saddle. GreyMoun. 1988 arabian gelding. He is semi-retired, but seems to LOVE showing green horses the ropes at LD rides. Shade: 1997 arabian mare. It took us a good while to form a bond but she has turned into quite an honest endurance horse. I don't train to ride fast but she's a great completer. Sadie: 2007 arabian filly. I got Shade at 30months old & was not going to get another horse that was not already under saddle --but I bought Sadie in Utero in Feb 2007, she was born the end of april. Funny how life hapens....... the parent horses: AJ 1993 -16.3 TB. RazzMo- 2002 Andalusian arab cross CJ-2002 grade QH.
