Ok-
Funny- not so funny story of yesterday’s episode at the farm.
I had a lovely visit from Dan and Sharron- washed horses, Dan was working with Diamond ( bonding)
We put the horses away- and I gave the older boys their mash with medicine for joints. After Bourbon is done- Beauty goes over and licks his bucket clean- cause he’s a messy boy.
By this time Dan and Sharron had gone home.
I heard a huge bang in Bourbons open stall- ran out to find Beauty upset about the red bucket- I thought it had caught on her mane- but as I got closer I noticed she had pierced her left nostril with the hook and was quite fashionably hanging the red bucket from her pierced nostril.
She stood very still and allowed me/ her mama- to un hook the piercing.
I gave a round of tetanus shots and tried to clean as best I could. She’s doing fine, although it seems sore to her.
I should write a children’s book about “Beauty And The Red Bucket”
As she had once taken it off somehow and had it stuck on her leg- luckily she stood for me to rescue her both times.
Getting rid of that type of hook.
