All you need is a fly mask and a grazing muzzle and you’re golden! Ready for our outing to Cosco!
That’s Isis in her grazing muzzle and fly mask. She had to wear a grazing muzzle any time she was in a field with any amount of grass. She had equine metabolic syndrome. Think of it like a pre-diabetic condition in horses. She couldn’t have the sugar in the grass so she either had to be dry lotted or have a grazing muzzle on to limit her intake.
I’ve been trying to get things unpacked in the apartment. Some days, like Wednesday, I’m super productive. Other days, like today, I’m not even close. I unpacked maybe one box tonight.

What happens whenever you go to the hospital? You come home with a cold. It appears that Kasane may have done just that. On Saturday, I found a great wad of yellow snot on the wall of Kasane’s stall. She hadn’t been in the stall that long, so I thought maybe someone else had used…
