Shivery
The barn owners called me last night. Apparently Rajiyyah was shivering last night from the cold. Poor kid. She is not used to the weather in Tennessee yet. I’m heading out now to try a blanket on her and buy her a new one if she needs it.

However, the bout could indicate other problems are developing– including adhesions. He is going to scope her this afternoon…
The vet visit went well today. Both of the girls got their shots. Isis tickled me: quite a few times when I went out of her sight, she would nicker as soon as she saw me. Yup, that’s my kid. Isis was a model reformed mare — she used to be terrified of vaccinations. Today,…
