Ok, not very much, but still not at all usual here:
Today has been all about giving money to vets.
I took Jo off to see her vet first thing, because I was a bit worried that the scar on her side had got scabby again, but the vet thinks it's just a bit of a reaction to the internal stitches and nothing to worry about. I also showed her a new lump I'd found. The initial reaction was 'it's probably a cyst', but after shaving off a patch of hair to get a better look it turned into 'let's send a biopsy to the lab'....
Later, the boys' vet came to see them: 'flu jabs for all, and an added blood test for GB (he was thrilled, I tell you, thrilled), as well as a tube of sedative for us to try GB on when Bugsy's gone (Tuesday week: his old owner is having him back to keep another horse company, thankfully) and I want to take Benny for a hack. (He gets very distressed when he's left alone, which isn't good for him at his age, but Benny needs to be hacked out to help his development.)
After that, we crossed our fingers and put them all in the field together. There was a bit of initial charging around but they've mostly settled down, and it looks like Benny is going to be boss. Wonderful 'wish I'd been videoing that' moment when Benny and Bugsy cautiously bumped noses: Benny got distracted and turned his head to watch the mares running around, seeing which Bugsy stealthily turned around and kicked him. Benny span on the spot, kicked back and Bugsy fell over in a heap. Did rather serve Bugsy right! |
