Rollin’ On

Wednesday, August 28, 2024

That’s Pimmy vigorously rolling, her first activity on being released at home. For the next fifteen minutes, she wandered and rolled repeatedly and happily. Best of all, she eagerly ate the hay offered. Last night, I managed to medicate her with a syringe. She must have those meds twice daily and via syringe going forward.

Administering the meds will be a challenge. Pimmy will anticipate what’s coming and avoid me. To counter that, she’s now sporting a short “catch rope” for me to grab when she’s close enough. Something else new is her high-tech grazing muzzle. Wearing it will let her roam freely on horse trails along with her buddies and prevent her from grazing on grasses too sugary for her health.

I plan to for Sunni to wear that style of muzzle when I pony her. She’s a grass-grabber and big-time–sometimes stopping quickly and unexpectedly, challenging me to stay on Rosie’s back.

This whole family will head for a horse trail on my days off from work next week.

Dear Friends: Finally, we’re all “back in the saddle,” so to speak, and happily. Diana
