Our vet came today to float the horses teeth, and when he got to Monty...there were no teeth to float! Dr. Mike said he has never in his career seen a horse with absolutely NO teeth and look the way Monty looks! He said it was a testament to the care he gets. Monty has been getting fed Sr. Sweet Feed grain, with soaked Alfalfa cubes, calf manna, and multi-vitamins 2X a day. The whole thing get mixed together and soaked with water before he gets it. We soak all the boys grain, even the young ones. Never had a problem with choke or colic. And don't want too! It made us feel so good to know that our boys are happy and as healthy as they can be! Nothing else matters when it comes to our animals. We have been moving them over to the "summer" pasture about 1 -2 hours daily for a couple weeks now. They will be over there full-time on Sunday. Also, an FYI on Sugar and Nilly - We had the vet draw blood to check for pregnancy. They were bred about a month ago. We will know on Thurs! Fingers crossed!
Can horses smile? I would love to think so. Becca was out this past weekend taking pictures of "her love", Polka. Looking at these pictures, it sure looks like he is smiling to us! See for yourself! Polka is a 29 year old Thoroughbred gelding that has, for Becca, lit a blaze of passion for everything Thoroughbred! Check out her blog, Bits N' Bunny and you will see what I mean! She has been writing for years on her laptop, and decided to "put it out there". In two weeks, she has received over 500 hits!!!! from all over the world and comments from horse racing icons! We are very proud of our Bunny and encourage her to stay true to her passion. We acquired Polka 4 years ago, and it has been a gift of such great magnitude that we never expected! We love you Polka and Bunny!!! |
