I have never seen so many Medical incidents in one summer before. Poor Phoenix (baby horse) jumped from pole pressure and flipped over backwards got a concussion. The heaviest baby I have ever helped to pick up. :( Vet who wasn’t worth SHHHHH!!! She doped him up with way too much banamine. Long story short he was put on a DMSO drip and got way better in a week or so.
Then mom and I went to palpate 13 mares (insert hand in rectum to check for pregnancy). My first time seeing/HEARING a prolapsed recto vaginal fistula (when horse has baby sometimes it rips the wall that separates the vagina and the rectum. Just like people it should be sown up).
Treated two underweight Arabians that have NO ground manners.
Watched a stallion get castrated, slick gross! Glad I’m not a male, emasculators are painful looking.
Poor Tuff and his impalement on his neck that my mom thought I could sew. WRONG, you can’t sew puncture wounds and he had dead tissue. So I dressed and wrapped it for the trip to the vet. Once the dead tissue got cut out mom and I went to see it and look at the progression. If you ever SMELL death rest assured its creepy crawlies (maggots) and there were tons and they were swimming fast. :’( Poured a ton of olive oil in the whole and they were falling out of the wound.
Poor Cody and his 4 wheeler accident.
Took 2 hours to shave and wash a huge great Pyrenees that was gets bathed in emu oil. (note: emu oil makes hair grow back fast and thick) Played with a herd of emus, the scariest thing ever. They remind me of valasa raptors.
Looked at a mini horse that is cycle hawked.
Got my baby Triangle B Rosecolord who is 4 years old and is NOT broke to ride yet. Swam on her and rode her out the pond and around the pasture. :D
Helped load the craziest horse ever in to a trailer. It took 3 f’ing hours and that dumb bitch was rearing up striking out and kicking at all 10 of us. Eventually we rigged a pulley and drug her to the trailer door. When she was almost in the rope opened one of the slant load’s dividers. So I crawled under 2 dividers to close the doors after jerking the already tense rope slamming her on the ground almost under the trailer. Once everything was clear we pulled her in the trailer. STUPID GRADE HORSE!
Rode my first padded Tennessee Walker. Nothing special about that too much work to ride a horse.
Went to the auction and rode a BEAUTIFUL champagne Tennessee Walker. Talk about smooth, smart, and well trained 3 year old. LaVonna bought him.
SOLD my boys the next day. They literally tried to kill LaVonna’s horse. 2 of my horses herded him until he almost ran straight into a t-post and barbed wire fence. Picked up a buckskin Tennessee walker mare that was sadly abused.
