This morning we were up bright and early so that Sedan and Ice could be to the Vet by 7:30am. Please remember that our Vet is a 45 minute drive to get to. Sedan, just had to get his first round of shots and he had to have his blood drawn for Coggins testing. While we were there, we had Doc age him and Guess what? He isn't old at all... we were told he was about 18 (we were also told that was part of his issues when we got him) I looked at his teeth and couldn't find the mark I knew should have been on his ten year teeth so I believed what they said. However, Doc has been aging horses by their teeth alot more then Mom or I do and he said that he was 8 to 10 years old not 18 years old... Anyway, that means we are just beginning our life journey with Sedan and Mom couldn't be happier.
Ice went to see Doc too this morning but he was there for a different reason. Ice needed health papers for our trip to Louisiana. While I was there I learned a very important difference between a recal and an oral thermometer.... It is the biggest difference I have ever heard of and that is ... The taste ... LOL Yes, my Vet told us that joke as he put a rather large thermometer in Ice's Bum ... Then he and I told Mom that since all we own is quarter horses and a mini pony who doesn't amount to a half a horse that even owning 5 horses didn't get us one full horse between them ... LOL ... He even teased Mom and told her not to get Dad and his Monkey Mixed up and take the monkey... He said he didn't think Dad would fit in the monkey carrier. To be honest we have one of the coolest Vets in the world. He is in his 70s and for his vacations he likes to travel to Austraila and work on a merino sheep farm ...
When we got home we hauled hay for my uncle. We put up the first 221 bales of the season. We finished that just to come home and change the oil in the truck so that it is ready for the trip to Branson, Kellyville and Louisiana. After that we sharpened the sickle blade. Well, the sickle blade is actually about 35 individual teeth that have to be shapened on both sides. It takes a bit of doing but it is done. We are still looking for the guards we need but we will see if we can't find them tomorrow when we go to Bartlesville.
